Descrizione

The Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC from Elena Walch offers a measured, clear profile typical of the appellation. Visually it shows a straw-yellow color with slight greenish reflections. On the nose it opens with notes of ripe pear, Renette apple, white flowers and citrus peel, accompanied by a subtle mineral hint and a floral delicacy that tempers the fruit. Intensity is restrained yet coherent. The drinking experience is guided by an olfactory finesse that highlights the balance between fruit and freshness and invites tasting.

On the palate it confirms a fresh, sapid texture, moderate in tone and well balanced between acidity and body, with a clean, persistent finish. Its rather soft structure makes it suitable for youthful consumption and versatile pairing: seafood antipasti, crudités, grilled fish, light risottos and fresh cheeses. Serve chilled, around 8-10 °C, and appreciate it for its gustatory clarity and pleasant drinkability. Also suitable as an aperitif or with light summer dishes.

Winery history

Trained as an architect, Elena Walch raised the international profile of her family estate by modernising vineyard and cellar practices and emphasising single-vineyard expression. In recent years leadership has been progressively assumed by her daughters Julia and Karoline (fifth generation).

Production philosophy

Strongly terroir-driven approach: emphasis on single 'Vigna' sites, manual vineyard work, sustainability-oriented practices and careful cellar ageing (e.g. French barriques and extended bottle ageing).

Terroir and vineyards

Estate and vineyards located in Alto Adige/Südtirol (Termeno/Tramin, Caldaro). Calcareous and varied soils; climate combining summer warmth with cool Dolomite winds. The producer cites Vigna Castel Ringberg as a single vineyard of about 20 hectares; Vigna Kastelaz is a steep terraced site above Tramin.
