Pfefferer Pink' Colterenzio 2024

The Pfefferer Pink from the South Tyrolean winery Colterenzio is a delicate and fresh rosé that perfectly expresses the character of its place of origin. The wine is born from a balanced blend of grapes from various historically present red berry varieties in South Tyrol. Like all blends, rather than the taste of a particular variety, it is a wine that aims to highlight especially the territorial imprint. Alongside the most classic floral aromas and the scents of small berries, the Colterenzio label offers the pleasure of tasting a subtle, dynamic rosé characterized by a pleasant mineral freshness, typical of mountain wines.

The Pfefferer Pink wine is produced by one of the most well-known and important names in South Tyrolean wine. The Colterenzio winery was founded in 1960 and today gathers about 300 member growers, who directly cultivate their vineyards with care and artisanal passion. The vineyards are located in the renowned areas of Colterenzio, Cornaiano, Appiano, Bolzano, and Salorno, at altitudes ranging from 250 to 500 meters. The red berry varietiesred used to produce the Pfefferer Rosé, find their home on soils of morainic and alluvial origin, characterized by gravelly and sandy soils, which give the wines a particular finesse and elegance. The cool climate with strong temperature fluctuations allows for the harvesting of balanced and fragrant grapes, ideal for creating an excellent rosé with a character that is typically territorial.

The Rosé Pfefferer Colterenzio is a young and fragrant wine that immediately expresses the primary aromas of the grapes. The use of a selection of bunches from vineyards planted with different varieties allows for the creation of a particularly harmonious and balanced rosé. The vinification takes place with a brief contact with the skins and with an extremely delicate pressing. The free-run must is vinified in white in stainless steel tanks. Before being bottled, the wine rests for several months on fine lees in steel tanks. In the glass, it presents a pale pink color with bright reflections. The bouquet recalls floral scents, aromas of small red berry fruits,pomegranate, white peach, and light spicy nuances. The sip is soft, fruity, and leads to a fresh and savory finish.
