TASTING NOTES
The color is deep straw yellow with golden highlights. The nose is aromatic, with hints of roses, lychee, grapefruit, lime, light notes of orange peel, clove and cinnamon. The taste is full, complex, smooth, with good freshness. The 2022 vintage in Alto Adige, as in all of Italy, will be remembered as one of the hottest and driest. Second in temperature only to that of 2015, it began, at least in this area, almost three weeks earlier. The grapes brought to the cellar are slightly smaller than in previous years, with a higher sugar content and decidedly warmer aromas. It can certainly be interesting to compare the same wine with the previous vintage, 2021, which, in contrast, had been cool and had resulted in a slightly delayed harvest giving very fruity, pleasantly fresh wines with a lively structure.

Guido Folonari has always been in love with Südtirol, its wines, vineyards and landscapes. Right there in South Tyrol he has decided to realize his last winemaking dream called Winzerberg (Winegrowers' Mountain). Folonari has selected five small winemakers, owners of as many vineyard, with totally different “terroirs”. South Tyrol is a small jewel of the Italian wine scene, with a truly unique pedoclimatic environment, where wines of extreme elegance and complexity are born. The love for the care of the vineyard and the skillful hand of Stephan Filippi, a South Tyrolean winemaker with a great personality, have given life to seven wines that reflect the character and origin of the territory.
