The Pinot Bianco “Mediaevum” by Gumphof is a wine that makes expressive purity and refined elegance the interpretative key of this delicate and noble white grape variety, which in the southernmost areas of the Isarco Valley has found one of the best habitats to express itself. Its bouquet is a testament to this, characterized by delicate floral aromas, notes of white fruit, and mountain herbs. The palate is of great balance, harmonious, elegant, and creamy, with delicate fruit and just the right freshness.
The “Mediaevum” Gumphof is a pure Pinot Bianco cultivated in the estate located in Novale di Presule, owned by the Prackweiser family for over two centuries. The vineyards are south-west facing and are cultivated on a steep slope, between 400 and 500 meters above sea level. The training system is partly pergola and partly Guyot, with a density of 4000-7500 plants per hectare. The climate is influenced by both the mild breeze of the Ora, which rises along the valley from Lake Garda, and the cold winds descending from the Dolomites. A thermal exchange that creates strong temperature variations, favoring the ripening of very aromatic grapes. The soils of ancient morainic origin, rich in gravel and sand, with a calcareous and quartz subsoil, have proven to be perfect for Pinot Bianco. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in steel tanks and the wine matures on the fine lees, always in steel for 6 months.
The “Mediaevum” Pinot Bianco is a wine of splendid crystalline purity, which a great grape variety like Pinot Bianco can give if cultivated and vinified with extreme delicacy while respecting its characteristics. A wine played on nuances that offers a glass of rare elegance and finesse. It presents itself with a straw-yellow color. The olfactory profile is enriched with floral aromas, accompanied by notes of apple, pear, white peach, and delicate hints of alpine herbs. On the palate, it expresses a sensation of perfect harmony, with a perfect balance between fruity aromas, fresh components, and minerality.
