Features

Riesling Montiggl Alto-Adige DOC 2020
Terrain:
gravelly and morainic
Winery
In 1907 a small group of winemakers decided to join forces in order to improve the quality of their labels, thus giving birth to the cooperative winery of San Michele Appiano, which is today a reality that counts about three hundred and fifty members for an annual production of more than two million bottles. A real and proper colossus, an absolute reference for the whole production world not only in Alto Adige, which never fails to meet expectations thanks to a range of unique reliability. From Gewürztraminer to Müller Thurgau, from Sauvignon to Riesling, from Pinot Bianco to Lagrein, each bottle is a perfect synthesis of the varietal that gave birth to it. Fresh and vibrant wines, characterized by a clear territorial appeal and by a surprising average quality.
Description
This grape variety of Teutonic origin has found an exceptionally suitable terroir in Alto Adige. Riesling needs the special environmental conditions found in the area of the volcanic lake of Monticolo, where the porphyry soils give the wine its special character. Riesling from Monticolo is distinguished by its fruity aromas and mineral freshness, making it an increasingly popular wine.
