Descrizione

The Muller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC by Hofstatter is a white wine that embodies the excellence of viticulture in Alto Adige, a region renowned for producing high-quality wines thanks to its unique climate and steep mountain vineyards. This particular wine originates from the heart of the Val d'Adige, where the cool climate conditions and high altitudes are ideal for the growth of the namesake grape variety, the Müller-Thurgau.

The wine presents itself with a very delicate straw-yellow color and greenish hues. On the nose, the Muller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC by Hofstatter expresses an aromatic bouquet dominated by floral notes of elderflower and white blossoms, followed by fruity tones of peach and a light touch of aromatic spices like nutmeg, typical of this grape variety.

On the palate, the wine is lively and fresh with a lovely acidity that is perfectly balanced by its structure and medium-light body. The aromatic persistence is remarkable and invites a second sip. Its finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste that once again echoes the floral and fruity themes perceived on the nose.

This wine pairs beautifully with fish dishes, seafood, poultry, and white meats, as well as a variety of light appetizers. It is also an excellent choice to serve as an aperitif due to its freshness and vivacity.

The Muller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC by Hofstatter not only represents an authentic expression of its terroir but is also an example of how modernity and tradition can seamlessly merge in a bottle of wine, making it an ideal purchase for those seeking elegance and character in white wines.

Winery history

The winery has family origins: Josef and Maria Hofstätter began production in Termeno, and over the course of the 20th century management passed to family members and key figures such as Konrad Oberhofer. In the 1950s the winery was among the first in the area to bottle its own wine and to promote wines of defined origin. In the following decades the estate grew through marriages between winemaking families, acquisitions of farmsteads and vineyards, and extensive modernization from the 1990s under the leadership of Martin Foradori Hofstätter.

Production philosophy

The approach is centered on origin: vinifying the grapes separately to convey the character of each vineyard. The "Vigna" classification encapsulates the commitment to zoning and the expression of terroir, together with an openness to winemaking innovation.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards extend along both banks of the Valle dell'Adige in the Bassa Atesina. The estate also cultivates plots in Trentino and has projects and vineyards in the Mosel/Saar region of Germany for Riesling.

Awards and recognitions

Some of the winery's wines and its crus have received recognition and ratings from the specialist press.
