Weissburgunder Alto Adige DOC 2022
Tense Pinot bianco from the southernmost part of the Valle Isarco, which is climatically particularly favourable for this grape variety. Straw yellow in the glass, pleasantly fruity aroma of ripe pears and apples with creamy nuances of camomile. Fresh, harmonious on the palate with lively acidity, fine herbal spice and nice fullness. Mineral in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Intense straw yellow with golden reflections. Complex nose, yellow stone fruit, dandelion, lemon zest and a hint of flint. Precise and tense on the palate, starts juicy, then lots of mouthwatering phenolic, refreshing acidity, lingering juicy-spicy finish." Falstaff

Eisacktaler Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC 2022
The history of the sophisticated Gewürztraminer goes back to the early Middle Ages. The autochthonous grape variety thrives best on airy slopes between 250 and 450 m on clay and sandy soils with plenty of sunlight. And then the wine can be as convincing as this one: straw yellow with pale green reflections, with a distinctive bouquet of roses, some clove and vanilla and an independent character on the palate. A Gewürztraminer with support in the body, with a lot of elegance and harmony and a very well-crafted finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling golden yellow. Intense, aromatic nose, lots of ripe fruit exoticism, lychee and pineapple, rose petals and vanilla. Punchy and full-bodied on the palate, creamy texture, pleasantly warming, moderate acidity, mouthwatering, medium-long final." Falstaff

The Eisack Valley between Bozen and Brixen is the northernmost wine region of Italy. Here at 600 to 800m above sea level, mostly on alpine, steep primary rock soils of porphyry, quartz and mica, viticulture often reaches its physical limits.
In one of the best locations lies the "Rittner sun plateau" in the southern Eisack valley, below the impressive Schlern massif, where Brigitte and Florian Unterthiner cultivate their vineyards. Only five hectares are planted here on formerly volcanic soils, porphyry and calcareous, with Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon and the almost exotic Grüner Veltliner. For red wine, the Unterthiners rely on their award-winning Vernatsch, Pinot blanc, as Pinot noir (optionally: Pinot noir) is called here and again on an Austrian grape variety, the Zweigelt.
The Mediterranean influence flows through the valley in summer and especially in autumn, and with its sunny, mild days and cool alpine mountain air at night makes for very independent wines. Racy, powerful and subtle at the same time. The work of Florian and Brigitte Unterthiner, the third generation of the family to run the farm, is characterised by passion and tradition in more than 40 year old pergola handicraft vineyards on terraces with deep roots, which therefore survive dry periods well - but also by the courage to do something new, such as gentle pruning. Sustainability, quality and origin are not buzzwords, but are lived here. For example, the use of herbicides is completely dispensed with and the soil is kept vital with stable fertiliser.
The Unterthiners produce deep wines full of character. The technique and the statistics are not in charge here, the grapes are tasted here and a decision is made when "floated"as the grape harvest here is called. Handiwork, experience and intuition - and you can taste it with every sip. And if you ever drive south across the Brenner Pass, you will stop for a break in the wonderful wine tavern of the Unterthiners. SUPERIORE.DE
