Descrizione

The Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC Flora of Girlan is born in a territory renowned for its altitude and temperature range that gives elegance and freshness to the grape variety. The mild climate and calcareous-clayey soils favor the fine and harmonious expression of this Chardonnay, which is carefully cultivated respecting the traditional methods of the Isarco Valley.

The aging takes place partly in oak barrels, giving the wine a soft and enveloping structure without losing the typical liveliness of the grape. On the nose, it opens with fruity notes of golden apple, white peach, and light floral hints, combined with delicate touches of vanilla and butter, a result of the aging process. On the palate, it is balanced, fresh, and savory, with a medium body that invites relaxed tasting rituals.

Excellent as a companion to fish and white meat dishes, but also with fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables.

Winery history

Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.

Production philosophy

The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.

Awards and recognitions

The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
