Description / Reviews
"The wine undergoes both fermentation and three months ageing in stainless steel tanks. Light straw yellow in color and offers an expressive, varietal aroma with nuances of ripe fruit such as peach and pear, accompanied by fine spicy notes. Its juicy aftertaste is accompanied by a refreshing acidity." - Erste + Neue, Winemaker
"The 'Old & New' is the result of a merger in 1986 of one group founded in 1900 with the 'newies ' a crew merely dating back to 1926. Between them, their members brought together a wonderful collection of heritage, expertise and vineyards, of such variety, siting and quality. There's an array of soil types in this glacial valley ranging in altitude from 250m to 650m - moraine, loam, calc, clay, you name it - and each provides the best backdrop to the Alto Adige classics - their speciality, the Pinots Bianco (which E+ N of course call Weissburgunder) and Grigio. The reds are benchmark versions, from the delicious light and fruity Schiava to the dense, blue-purple and powerful Lagrein." - Primavera, Importer
