Characteristic: Cool nights and a constant, fresh breeze characterize this sunny vineyards. Situated over 500 m above sea level, they allow the compact bunches of Pinot Grigio grapes to mature and develop their full aroma. The brilliant straw-yellow color is tinged with light green; the aromas vary quince to pears to toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and racy, with a round and harmonious finish, thanks to aging in barriques.
Recommendation: This wine is an excellent accompaniment to mushroom dishes, fish and seafood. It is also recommended as an aperitif wine.

purple colour with garnet hints. Quite pronounced fruity aroma with notes of red and black berries, paired with floral, mineral and spicy nuances (black pepper). Medium to full-bodied, good intensity on the palate, balanced, with present ripe tannin. Good length.

Powerful ruby red colour. Fine characteristic Pinot bouquet with a clearly fruity character and a trace of spicey and smokey aromas. This wine is powerful and expressive on the palate with a pleasant tannic background. A noble wine for moderately complicated dishes.
Sextner grey cheese dairy Sexten, spicy and aromatic low-fat cheese which is prepared with onions, olive oil, some pepper and salt, speciality South Tirol.
Very cold winter, very normal springtime. Many rainfalls during the all first part of the summer, but the end of July to the end of October the weather was sunny and dry, so the end of maturation and the harvest were simply perfect. Very balanced vintage, a great vintage.
Harmonious, sapid and aromatic fragrance. It is excellent as an aperitif, goes well with starters and particularly with delicately flavoured dishes, most of all fish based ones.
