Wine Box 448 slm Girlan

The Wine Box 448 msl Girlan is an exceptional selection of red, white, and rosé wines, all coming from the renowned Girlan winery located in Cornaiano, in the province of Bolzano, nestled in the wonderful setting of the South Tyrolean mountains. The winery was founded in 1923 inside a historic Maso dating back to the sixteenth century, precisely at 448 meters above sea level, hence the name: 23 winemakers shared a common project and laid the foundations for the current winery under the guidance of Johann Kofler Krautschneider. Between 1961 and 1980, the Spitaler family winemakers began to experiment and observe the behavior of the vineyards and the yield of the grape varieties, giving life to a production of impeccable quality. Today, the winery counts more than 200 winemakers with as many hectares of land entirely dedicated to vineyards.

The wines of the Wine Box 448 msl Girlan come to life in the historic vineyards of the winery, cultivated on soils rich in minerals sedimented during the glacial period. The attention towards nature and sustainability is reflected in the adopted agricultural practices, which include natural fertilization, controlled irrigation, and manual harvesting. In the winery, the grapes undergo vinification with modern techniques respectful of tradition, fermenting in stainless steel tanks and refining in steel to enhance their characteristics to the fullest.

The Red, White, and Rosé 448 msl Girlan stand out for their exceptional organoleptic characteristics. The Red presents a compact ruby red color and fruity and spicy aromas, while on the palate it reveals a soft and fresh taste, perfect to accompany meat dishes and cheeses. The White, with its bright straw yellow color and aromas of ripe white pulp fruit, is elegant and enveloping on the palate, ideal with fish appetizers and vegetable-based dishes. The Rosé, with its intense and bright pink color and aromas of strawberries and berries, offers a delicate and refreshing sip, perfect paired with Mediterranean cuisine and platters of cold cuts and cheeses. This Wine Box 448 msl Girlan is a true sensory journey through the oenological excellences of South Tyrol, an experience to be enjoyed and shared with friends and family.
