Curiosity

The Koran forbids any consumption of wine, only in paradise one dreams of it: "Resting on soft divans they look around them; full of joy they drink pure, well-sealed wine, the sentence of which is sheer musk;... a wine mixed with water from the spring Tasnim, where the lucky ones refresh themselves... and the black-eyed Huris, chaste as hidden pearls, are waiting for you as a reward for your deeds".

Food Pairing

Ideal with asparagus dishes, onion soup, grilled and fried fish, snails or simply as an aperitif!

Vintage 2017

Typical Varietals, Wines that are Elegant, Fresh, and Fruity The capricious weather in 2017, above all else the frost and hail, left its mark in Alto Adige's vineyards, especially in terms of quantity. All in all, though, 2017 presents itself as a good vintage with convincing levels of quality and with quaffable, inviting wines that are typical for Alto Adige. (Südtirol Wein)
