The unique terroir for Meran Festival Weissburgunder

Meran Festival Weissburgunder originates from the enchanting vineyards of Labers, Marlengo, Merano, and Tirolo. At altitudes between 450 and 550 meters, the vineyards where the Pinot Bianco grapes grow thrive. The vines are between 5 and 30 years old, creating a harmonious balance between youthful vitality and deep-rooted character. The roots extend into the light, permeable, loamy-sand moraine soils. This terroir gives the wine a unique expression and refined minerality. After careful harvesting at optimal ripeness, the grapes are taken to the winery. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks, preserving the natural aromas and freshness of the grapes. A portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is then carefully stored and aged on the fine lees for five months, allowing it to further develop its character and texture. This process results in a wine of exceptional quality, with a refined balance of fruitiness, freshness, and structure.
