Müller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC - Girlan x 6

The Fine Aromaticity and Extraordinary Freshness of the High-Altitude Variety

Müller Thurgau finds an ideal habitat in Alto Adige thanks to the sharp temperature variations and extreme altitudes of the production area. The winemaker recommends this bottle for the clarity with which it expresses its high-altitude character, with vineyards reaching up to 900 meters above sea level. Compared to simpler interpretations, this vintage stands out for its extraordinary gustatory tension, preserved through rigorous vinification conducted exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Targeted contact with the fine lees enriches the structure without weighing down the drinkability. It is a white wine of rare stylistic precision, ideal for evolved palates looking for the authentic freshness and minerality of alpine soils.

High-Altitude Vineyards of Oltradige and the Stylistic Precision of Girlan

This wine, born from the genetic cross between Riesling and Sylvaner, expresses an identity closely linked to the pedoclimatic variability of the territory of Trentino Alto Adige, interpreted with tailored rigor by the Girlan winery. The vineyards root in complex soils ranging from sandy matrices based on volcanic porphyry to morainic terrains rich in sediments from the glacial era. Heroic high-altitude viticulture involves cultivation at altitudes between 500 and 900 meters above sea level, an optimal altimetric range to lock in aromatic precursors and maintain a distinct acidity. The cellar protocol involves manual harvesting, gentle pressing, and natural settling by sedimentation, guaranteeing an exceptionally clean extractive profile.

Characteristics of Müller Thurgau Alto Adige Wine

This selection expresses the quintessence of the mountain territory in the glass, elevating varietal traits to a superior level of clarity through a clean sensory profile of unquestionable quality consistency, ideal for studying through a detailed tasting experience:

• Alcohol Content and Blend: 12.50% Vol. / 100% Müller Thurgau.
• Visual Examination: Pale, crystalline straw yellow color, crossed by bright and luminous greenish reflections that underline its perfect youth and fruit integrity when swirled in the glass.
• Olfactory Profile: An intense, fresh, and distinctly aromatic bouquet, standing out with fine and varietal notes of nutmeg, elderflower, and fragrant hints of alpine herbs, beautifully integrated with citrus and mineral nuances inherited from the soil's porphyritic matrix.
• Palate: Endowed with a lively and remarkably clean mouth entry, the sip is supported by a unique acidic architecture that gives rhythm and tension to the drinkability. The palatal progression enhances a chalky mineral sappiness that perfectly cleanses the mouth and contrasts the natural aromatic quality of the grape variety, guiding the tasting toward a dry, taut finish of excellent gustatory persistence.

Pairings and Service

The combination of a unique acidity structure and delicate aromatic profile demands accurate gastronomic pairings, capable of communicating with the fineness of the sensory profile:

• Appetizers and Raw Seafood: It pairs magnificently with raw seafood appetizers, shellfish tartare, scallop carpaccio with citrus zest, and complex finger foods from avant-garde cuisine.
• Seafood and Starters: Splendid pairing with fresh oysters, savory tarts with wild herbs, or traditional white asparagus preparations.
• Fish Cuisine and Service: Ideal with grilled freshwater or marine fish, where the wine's sharpness perfectly cleanses the richness of the dish. It is best served at an optimal service temperature of 10 - 12°C in medium-sized white wine glasses to favor the correct perception of the aromatic profile.
