VINOSO.Shop today would like to introduce you to the Kerner.

Kerner is a semi-aromatic white GRAPE VARIETY. It was created in 1929 in Germany by August Herold by crossing Schiava grossa, a red berry variety, and Riesling. The name Kerner comes from Justinus Kerner, a German poet and doctor born in the second half of the 1700s who lovingly ized the study of nature and was attracted especially by the most mysterious manifestations, the phenomena of madness, sleepwalking, spiritualism and magnetism; although he had a fervent imagination, his experiences and investigations were and are still valuable. The Kerner GRAPE VARIETY is grown in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and, in Italy, only in Alto Adige, where this vine can be indicated in the Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) Alto Adige since 1993. Kerner has good vigour, grows well in all types of soil. Generally, it is grown on slopes: if sunny enough cultivation can be done up to altitudes of 800-900 meters. This hybrid is not particularly sensitive to peronospora, oiocy and botrite, unless in bad weather conditions. There are no problems with parasites, because in these cold conditions they can not develop, in fact it resists temperatures of -10 ° C. Kerner sprouts rather late, avoiding spring frosts, has an average and mature bloom in October, to benefit from the sun that in these areas the season can still give. This variety prefers cold and continental climates and can not stand the heat. The bunch is medium-small in size, with wings and quite compact; the grape is spherical with the tender and thin peel, green-yellow in color. The characteristic color of this wine varies from straw yellow to greenish yellow, has a delicate scent and dry taste. In the mouth it has floral and fruity notes ranging from white peach to apricot, but also apple, grapefruit, wild strawberry, mint, white pepper and currants, finally tropical accents such as mango. It can be called a fresh and savory wine. Some also track notes of hay and citrusy lemon, orange and lime. The aromatic variety always depends a lot on the soil and exposure as well as the thermal excursions of the season. Overall it can still be called a full-bodied wine where we feel nuanced notes of nutmeg, with a lower acidity than a riesling, but with much more body. Kerner wine perfectly accompanies cold dishes such as salads but also particularly tasty first courses to mitigate its impact and compensate for its taste, especially in case of fatty dishes and in combination with foie gras. It goes perfectly with crustaceans and seafood or medium-aged cheeses, and is an exceptional wine to use as an aperitif. Winzerberg produces a Kerner that VINOSO.
