“Vigna Crivelli” Chardonnay Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2021

Peter Zemmer | South Tyrol
Weingut Peter Zemmer | Weinstraße 24 | IT 39040 Kurtinig a.d.W.

This characterful wine comes from grapes grown in the top Crivelli vineyard on calcareous, gravelly-sandy soils. The favourable microclimate with high temperature fluctuations between day and night and strong down winds from the Fennberg influence the character of this crus. In addition, a daily wind from the south ensures good aeration of the berries and ideal sunshine promises the grapes of this elegant grape variety excellent quality.

Crivelli matures in small wooden barrels for 12 months on the lees, which gives it elegance and complexity. Golden yellow in the glass, fruity bouquet of tropical fruits with a hint of vanilla, strong, balanced and slightly salty flavour. A great Chardonnay with a pleasant fullness and impressive length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light golden yellow in colour. Intense nose, butter and vanilla with ripe apple stand out, followed by melon, banana and pineapple. Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, wood again in the foreground, nut butter, light roasted almond, lots of substance, juicy and persistent." Falstaff

"Still restrained, but promising. Floral notes, a hint of salty minerality. Very animating. Subtle, perfectly integrated spicy notes. Balanced despite its youthfulness. Gripping on the palate, beautifully dry, with great finesse and vigour." Vinum

"Toasted hazelnuts and smoked almonds on the nose, with pineapple, salted butter and apricot kernels. Creamy and toasty, with a full body and layers of buttery goodness. Drink or keep." James Suckling

"Aromas of Canary melon, yellow peach and lemon curd are interwoven with an array of toasty flavours of chopped hazelnut, vanilla and spice. Framed by a fine, firm acidity, this graceful, medium to full-bodied white wine is slightly chalky in texture, with a lingering, fragrant finish with floral, mountain herb and mineral accents." Wine Spectator

"The Chardonnay Riserva Vigna Crivelli 2021 blossoms with a rich blend of crushed almonds, sage and baked apple. It caresses the palate with cooling acidity and soft texture, evoking ripe fruit trees and sweet spices. It finishes grippy and full of youthful tension with vanilla custard and notes of candied citrus." Vinous

"Opulent and concentrated aromas of papaya, mango and melon on the nose; white spices, vanilla and crisp apple on the palate." Decanter
