INOT BIANCO PINOT BIANCO
PUNGGL PUNGGL

Grapes: Pinot Bianco – Alto Adige DOC

Origin: This Pinot Bianco is a selection of grapes of the best vineyards of the valley floor in the Punggl area on the edge of the Adige River Valley. It flourishes under outstanding climatic conditions on a stony, sandy and extremely chalky soil. The poor yield per hectare and the particular terroir are responsible for the outstanding quality of the wine. The fascinating interplay between tradition and innovation, man and the surroundings, sense and sensuality finds expression in the passion and sensitivity with which Peter Zemmer brings this wine to life.

Yield per hectare: 60 hl

Vinification: After the grapes arrive, they are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out with pure strains of yeast at a controlled temperature of 18° C (64° F) partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in large oak casks. After several months of ripening on the yeast this elegant wine achieves its perfection.

Characteristic properties: The rich aroma as well as the excellent acidity makes this wine hard, rich and particularly elegant.
