Alois Lageder – a family-run biodynamic winery located in the Alto Adige (South Tyrol) region of Northern Italy. The winery is known for its sustainable practices and attention to terroir, working closely with winemakers from the Dolomites to create wines that reflect the unique character of this region.

Varietal composition:
100% Pinot Grigio

Terroir:
The vineyards are located in the Dolomites, in the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT and Alto Adige regions, at an altitude of between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. The soils are calcareous-dolomitic with good drainage. The climate is Alpine-Mediterranean - with cool nights and warm days, which contributes to the freshness and minerality of the wines.

Vinification:
The grapes are hand-picked and undergo a gentle selection. Fermentation takes place spontaneously (with its own yeast) at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine ages for about 9 months on the fine lees for additional texture and depth.

Organoleptic characteristics

Aroma:
Intense and clean nose with notes of green apple, pear, citrus peel and light mineral nuances.

Taste:
Fresh, balanced and delicate taste with pronounced acidity, subtle herbal accent and mineral finish. The structure is light to medium, with elegant persistence.

Food pairing:
Excellent with light salads, seafood, shrimp, grilled fish, chicken, pasta with pesto, as well as mozzarella and goat cheese.

Serving temperature:
8°–10°C

Aging potential:
Up to 2–3 years after harvest
