Description
What kind of wine it is
The Gewürztraminer Erste e Neue stands out as an aromatic still white wine with a fresh and mineral profile, a true expression of the Alto Adige region. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet, marked by clear notes of peach, elderflower, lemongrass and yellow rose. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied and savoury character, balanced by a gentle acidity and a delicate fruity sweetness. This vibrant aromaticity leads to a long and persistent finish. It is ideal as an aperitif, or pairs beautifully with shellfish, sushi and boldly spiced dishes, supporting the flavours in a balanced way.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Caldaro area, within the renowned winegrowing region of Alto Adige. The vineyards are rooted in clay and sandy soil, an ideal composition to give structure and savouriness to the glass. The area benefits from a temperate Alpine climate, essential for ensuring regular ripening of the grapes and preserving the aromatic precision of the variety. The production follows the standards of sustainable Fair’n Green practices, confirming Erste e Neue’s commitment to enhancing local viticulture while rigorously protecting the surrounding ecosystem.
How it is produced
The vineyards are cultivated using pergola and Guyot training systems, maintaining balanced yields to favour grape quality. In the winery, the process begins with a brief maceration and gentle pressing, stages handled delicately to preserve the varietal aromas. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, carried out in the absence of oxygen to maintain perfect aromatic clarity. The process concludes with four months of maturation in steel on the fine lees, a resting period that gives the wine greater volume, cohesion and a pronounced persistence.
History and Curiosities
This 2025 Gewürztraminer from Erste+Neue celebrates the tradition of a historic winery in the Alto Adige DOC. The commitment to the environment is demonstrated by the sustainable production Fair’n Green certification, which guarantees a virtuous and responsible approach. In the winery, the grapes are handled with the utmost care, through gentle pressing and fermentation in steel tanks, strictly protected from oxygen. The four-month maturation on fine lees enhances the wine’s vibrant aromatic character, preserving the original elegance of the grape variety intact.
