Eisacktal Sabiona Kerner Riserva Alto Adige DOC – 2020
CHF 39.90
This 100% Kerner was grown in one of the most dramatic single vineyards in the world, perched precariously on a volcanic-rocky outcrop at 680m altitude in the village of Chiusa in the Dolomite mountains.
The south facing, walled vineyard is planted with the Kerner grape – a crossing between Riesling and Schiava – which conveniently (at this altitude) is resistant to frost!
The wine is fermented in large acacia wood casks then left on its lees for 15 months to gain in intensity. It is aged in bottle in the Cantina Isarco’s cellars for a further nine months before release.
On the nose it is already intense, with aromas of peach and apricot
This intensity of flavour persists on the palate; for a cool climate wine it has surprising depth, body and concentration. Slightly honeyed, very spicy and with gentle stone fruit flavours, its delicious, vibrant acidity gives it a very long finish. This is truly unique, and a wonderful example of a mountain wine! 14% alcohol.
This would be perfect served with spicy Asian dishes, fish, herb risotto or white asparagus.
