Cantina Produttori Valle Isarco EKK Rulander Alto-Adige Valle Isarco Sudtirol Eisacktaler DOC
Description: As the youngest co-operative winery in the South Tyrol, set in an area where wine-growing has had a long tradition, the Cantina Produttori Valle Isarco winery has become synonymous with premium white wines. However, the actual upswing of wine-growing in Eisacktal occurred with the founding of the Eisacktal Kellerei Klausen EKK in 1961. There are ideal conditions for white grape types in the Valle Isarco where the climate and topography bequeaths the wines their unique and distinctive character, while the inclination and height of slopes helps. Some of the vines grow at 800-900 metres altitude, here the white grapes flourish in particular because of the nutrient-rich soil, the number of sunny days and even distribution of rainfall. Pinot Grigio or Rulander has much more character than its southern Italian namesakes. This is an elegant yet full-bodied white with good acidity and hints of bitter almonds. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £145.35
