Wine Description
The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local dialect is referred to as "stoan." This aromatic white wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer grapes which are blended together and fermented in large oak barrels before being refined an additional seven months before bottling.
