Description
Wine Type
Valle Isarco Sylvaner Alte Reben Riserva is a still white wine by Pacher Hof, an authentic expression of Alto Adige. Bright yellow in colour, it reveals an aromatic profile defined by hints of peach, pear and melon. On the palate, this Sylvaner is dry and persistent, supported by an intense body that culminates in a marked savouriness and a distinctly mineral finish. Ageing in barrels enriches its structure without compromising its elegance, pairing perfectly with shellfish, fine fish such as turbot and sea bass, savoury first courses and selections of refined cheeses.
Origin
The grapes come from Varna, in the Novacella area, in the heart of the Isarco Valley. The vineyards are cultivated at an altitude of between 620 and 700 metres on morainic soils with a sandy-clay composition. This geology gives the wine a savoury character consistent with its gustatory rigour. The terroir enjoys a warm microclimate, mitigated by wide daily temperature ranges. These conditions favour optimal ripening of the bunches, outlining their aromatic precision and ensuring prolonged gustatory freshness.
Production process
Production follows an organic and sustainable approach, making the most of grapes harvested from old vines, capable of ensuring deep aromatic concentration. Manual harvesting allows for careful selection of the best fruit. The wine matures for eight months in oak barrels, a choice aimed at giving structure and complexity to the sip. The result is a glass with a dry profile that enhances the mineral vocation of the mountain territory, faithfully reflecting the winemaking identity of Novacella.
History and interesting facts
The Pacher Hof Huber Sylvaner Riserva Vigne Vecchie celebrates the legacy of the Huber family, winemakers in the Isarco Valley since 1142. This artisanal wine originates in Novacella from 42-year-old vines, cultivated using organic and sustainable methods at altitudes up to 700 metres. The sandy-clay morainic soils and significant temperature fluctuations encourage an extraordinary aromatic ripening of the grapes. The manual harvest precedes a slow ageing in oak barrels for eight months, aimed at enhancing the structure of this noble Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC.
