'Porer' Pinot Grigio Alto Adige/Sudtirol DOC Alois Lageder 2021

Porer Pinot Grigio Alto Adige/Sudtirol DOC is a white wine made by Alois Lageder , historic producer who has contributed significantly to the winemaking history of this area. The label is obtained from the single-variety vinification of Pinot Grigio grapes, grown in the vineyards of Magrè, in the province of Bolzano, according to a biodynamic regime. The soil on which the vines stand is sandy and calcareous, an aspect that gives the grapes a good minerality. Following the harvest in the last ten days of August, the grapes are taken to the cellar and placed in large steel tanks and wooden barrels, where a process of spontaneous fermentation on the lees begins. Aging continues for nine months on the fine lees, both in barriques and in steel containers. During the blending, a small part of the grapes which have remained in contact with the skins and stalks for a year is added. This peculiarity makes Porer Pinot Grigio Alto Adige/Sudtirol DOC an original and intense white wine.
