Tramin Unterebner

Unterebner Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

Not your average Pinot Grigio! Made from 100% single-vineyard Pinot Grigio from the Unterebner plot. The grapes for this wine are rigorously selected. 40% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barriques for six to seven months, and 60% is refined in large oak casks. Unterebner is incredibly rich, refined and elegant.

Acclaim
[T]he best pinot grigio from Alto Adige we tasted within the last year...Intense straw yellow color and an elegant, full nose. The notes of new wood are tempered by opulent tonalities of fruit...dense, easy-to-drink, fresh, delicately aromatic, harmonious and long.
