'Athesis Pinot Bianco' Alto Adige DOC Kettmeir 2019

South Tyrol, a land that can boast a great winemaking tradition, is the birthplace of Athesis Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC from the Kettmeir winery. It is an over 100-year-old company, whose motto is "progressio in traditione", that is to say being linked to traditions, but with an eye to progress and modernity. The soil, calcareous and clayey, is ideal for the vines, which grow at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level. This wine is produced from 100% Pinot Bianco grapes. After the harvest, scheduled for the third week of September, the white vinification consists of the soft pressing of the grapes and fermentation partly in barriques and partly in wooden tonneaux. The refinement on the lees lasts until July, when we proceed with the bottling and further refinement for six months. Athesis Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC is a fresh, light and well-structured white wine. It is a ready-to-drink wine, but which can also be enjoyed after a period of storage in the cellar.
