Descrizione

The Muller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC from the Muri-Gries winery is a gem of refinement and freshness, hailing from the enchanting valleys of Alto Adige. This white wine is distinguished by a unique aromatic bouquet that captures the essence of the mountainous terrain and the ideal climate of this region.

On the nose, Muri-Gries' Muller Thurgau offers a penetrating and pleasantly aromatic scent, with distinctive notes of wildflowers, green apple, and a light hint of nutmeg, typical of this variety. The careful selection of grapes and meticulous vinification contribute to creating an enchanting and particularly inviting olfactory profile.

On the palate, it presents with lively freshness and a balanced structure. The acidity is well integrated and supported by a pleasant minerality that comes from the unique terroir of Alto Adige. The tasting experience is completed by a delicate aromatic persistence and a slightly spicy aftertaste that invites the next sip.

This wine is perfect to serve as an aperitif or to accompany light dishes, especially seafood, fish-based dishes, and Asian cuisine. Its liveliness also makes it an excellent companion for a variety of fresh appetizers and gourmet salads.

Producing and refining the Muller Thurgau in such a prestigious area as Alto Adige attests to the Muri-Gries winery's commitment to respecting the winemaking tradition of the region, guaranteeing high-quality wines each year that best express the distinctive character of their terroir. An invitation to discover the typicity and elegance of Muller Thurgau through a glass of this exceptional exemplar.

Winery history

The present-day Muri-Gries estate stems from the Benedictine monks who moved from Muri to Gries, on the outskirts of Bolzano. Documents and the estate's history attest to the monastic community's continuous winegrowing since the 19th century, evolving from trading wine in demijohns to a progressive focus on quality bottled wines and on selected ranges such as "Abtei Muri."

Production philosophy

Combining respect for monastic tradition with innovation in the cellar: careful vineyard management, selective use of the best sites, and winemaking that blends stainless steel and wood to showcase the character of native varieties, particularly Lagrein.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are concentrated around Bolzano and on the plain and sunny slopes of the Appiano/Eppan plateau. Soils include porphyritic and gravelly types that enhance the character of the local varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Among the recognitions received is, for example, the award of 3 Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso to the Pinot Noir Riserva "Abtei Muri" in the Vini d'Italia 2019 guide.
