Gewürztraminer 'Am Sand' Alois Lageder 2022

“Am Sand” is the Gewürztraminer from the Lageder winery that can transport, in a glass of white, all the genuineness and tradition of the Alto Adige land and its grapes. It is indeed obtained from a variety of native grapes strongly linked to the regional winemaking history, coming from different plots in the Bassa Atesina, thus managing to bring together the various aromatic and character facets that this grape can be enriched with, depending on the specific place where it is grown. The result is a Gewurztraminer intense and endowed with a rich and engaging personality.

The Gewürztraminer by Alois Lageder “Am Sand” comes from the homonymous variety of grape in purity. The vineyards of origin are all cultivated according to a system of biodynamic agriculture, which makes the winemaking activity of the Lageder an integral part of the harmonious natural balance of the area. The vines used to obtain this white are located precisely in Termeno, Magrè and near the area of Lake of Caldaro. The pedological profile of these soils is predominantly sandy and the present microclimate positively benefits from a particular warmth. When possible, part of the grapes is harvested with the presence of noble rot; in all other cases, the bunches are nonetheless harvested at the right degree of ripeness, also resorting to repeated entries in the field. Once in the winery, the bunches are pressed and the must is placed in steel containers to ferment through the action of the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the skins. The aging takes place in the presence of the same and always inside steel tanks, for a duration of about 6 months.
