Gewurtztraminer Perelise DOC 2023 Colterenzio

The Gewürztraminer “Perelise” is part of the Selezioni line from Cantina Colterenzio, an Alto Adige winery that produces wines from the best vineyards in the region. The steel aging preserves the fragrance of the seductive varietal notes of this beloved aromatic grape, which expresses soft notes of exotic fruit, floral nuances, and sweet spices. This variety, with its unmistakable bouquet, is the result of a spontaneous mutation of Savagnin Blanc or Traminer in the northeastern region of France and southeastern Germany. It has been grown for several centuries in the Oltradige area, where it expresses a rich, enveloping, and mature profile. The wine "Perelise" comes from a selection of Gewürztraminer grapes grown in the Colterenzio, Cornaiano, and Appiano areas. The ability to choose each year from different vineyard parcels allows for the creation of harmonious wines with great balance, perfectly reflecting the identity of this great aromatic variety. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 400 and 550 meters on poor soils composed of gravel, sand, and limestone deposits. After harvest, the grapes undergo a short maceration followed by a very soft pressing to extract only the free-run juice, which is then fermented in steel. The wine ages for several months in steel before being bottled. The Colterenzio “Perelise” is a Gewürztraminer focused on delicate and elegant notes, without seeking excessive aromatic exuberance or overly soft textures. It is a fragrant white, rich in intense and complex aromas, yet retains the right freshness and sapidity, ensuring immediate drinkability.
