St. Magdalener Alto Adige DOC 2019 - Cantina Terlan

Cantina Terlan's St. Magdalener Alto Adige DOC reveals itself in a strong ruby red glass. The bouquet of this red wine caresses the nose with aromas of elderberries and cherries. In the background there are fine nuances of bitter almonds and violets. This fruity wine is soft and elegant on the palate with a balanced acidity structure. The low tannin content is due to Vernatsch.

Vinification of the St. Magdalener Alto Adige DOC of Cantina Terlan

This cuvée is vinified 85% from Vernatsch and 15% from Lagrein. The grapes used come from the Häuslerhof vineyard near Bolzano. In the past, this wine was also sold under the name "Häuslerhof" or "Häusler". In the meantime this nickname has been renounced, but nothing has changed in the wine.

The hand-picked grapes are destemmed and then fermented on the mash at a controlled temperature. This takes place slowly and with gentle movement of the mash in stainless steel tanks. The biological degradation of acidity and maturation takes place in large wooden barrels.
