Alto Adige St. Magdalener Doc Artis 2019 - Unterhofer

Description

The Unterhofer family has been involved in viticulture in South Tyrol, in Caldaro for generations.

With the commitment to give life to excellent wines even if they arise from vineyards on often very steep slopes, the importance of manual work and the quality of the grapes are fundamental.

The St. Magdalener DOC at sight shows an intense ruby red color, the nose smells of cherry, bitter almond and violet, while in the mouth it is savory and with a beautiful body immediately, soft and round instead in the aftertaste.

Why you should drink it

How to drink it

To drink this wine at its best, it should be kept at 12 - 14 ° C, but St. Magdalener if drunk cooler on hot summer days, then… We like it better!

Territory

Soil

S. Maddalena is a true master of adaptation. If cultivated in high altitude areas, it loves the soil composed of clayey morainic debris dating back to the last ice age; in the hills, on the other hand, it grows on a sandy river gravel soil of the interglacial period.
