Colterenzio (Schreckbichl) - Cora Pinot Bianco (2020)

About the wine

The recent history of the Colterenzio winery is made up of rebels and pioneering winemakers who in 1960, initially in 26, started their own agricultural cooperative to market the wine independently. Thus it was that in the small village of Schreckbichl (in Italian Colterenzio) in South Tyrol, the homonymous winery was born with the then ambitious and pioneering goal of producing quality wine. In 1979 the enlightened winemaker Luis Raifer took over in the role of director, who recognizing the qualities of the land, the climate, the terroir and the local winemaking expertise, recognized its potential in producing excellent wines, bringing South Tyrol to levels until then unexpected. With this clear and well-defined vision, he began to give life to his own project in his "Lafòa" farm on a sunny hill kissed by the sun, where he replaced the Schiava vines with the Cabernet Sauvignon and later Sauvignon Blanc varieties. But he did not limit himself to this, but introduced a new viticulture method that favored low yields compared to high quality grapes destined for great wines. This methodology imposed itself within the entire cooperative, experimenting with new varieties but preserving the method, which was particularly accurate in the vineyard as in the cellar. After 40 years from that turning point, from 26 founding winemakers today they have become 300, who with their families, some for passion or for work, contribute every year, autumn after autumn to the success of the great Colterenzio wines.

Straw yellow in color with greenish reflections, the nose is clean and precise with pleasant hints of fresh fruit, in particular apple and pear. In the mouth it is very lively, fresh and juicy with an excellent balance and an aging potential of 2-3 years.

Pairs well with Appetizers, Fish, Sushi & Sashimi, Vegetables, and Lightly-Spiced White Meats. Perfect as an Aperitif.
