Ganger Vineyard Pinot Noir Reserve 2019 Girlan in wooden box

On the Monte di Mezzo, not far from Bolzano and Lake Kaltern in Cornaiano, formerly called Girlan, stands the Girlan winery. It was founded in 1923 by 23 winegrowers and today has as many as 200 members spread over a vineyard growing area of 220 hectares, in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina at altitudes ranging from 450 to 500 meters between San Michele and the Plain of'Adige . 1980 the Girlan Winery increasingly focused on the Pinot Noir grape variety and first launched the Trattmannhof Mazon Pinot Noir. In '75 pioneer Hartmuth Spitaler recognizes the unique potential of the Gschleier subzone and produces a Vernatsch exclusively from this subzone for the first time. In addition, a close collaboration is established with the'artist Paul Flora regarding label design. Girlan's philosophy is on the one hand to revalue the ancient South Tyrolean grape varieties (Vernatsch, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir) and on the other hand to create wines with character from international grape varieties (Chardonnay and Sauvignon), while still tying them to the terroir. All this while respecting the times dictated by nature, with sustainable farmingThe wines are among the most awarded in the region and available in more than 30 states.
