The Gewurztraminer “Concerto Grosso” is a true symphony of aromas and flavors that interact with each other following the score dictated by Elena Walch's vision. The aim is to create a memorable bottle, and it must be admitted that the result is more than satisfactory. Wide and sumptuous is the personality on the nose, a prelude to a tactile drinking experience of good thickness despite the wine being worked and aged exclusively in steel. A label that, just like good music, is able to brighten the atmosphere of any table.
The “Concerto Grosso” is a pure Gewurztraminer that comes from a careful and rigorous selection of the best clusters that have reached maturity during the harvest in vineyards located about 400 meters above sea level. Before fermentation, there is a maceration of about 6 hours on the skins. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the must undergoes a static clarification. The subsequent fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 degrees. It then remains in steel for several months on the lees until bottling operations begin.
to mature for several months on the lees, until bottling operations begin.The white wine “Concerto Grosso” is a Gewurztraminer that in the glass presents itself with a light and slightly loaded color, reminiscent of the hue of gold. Rich on the nose, where it expresses itself with a range of intense fruity and floral notes, from which a slight touch of clove also emerges. On the palate, it is full-bodied, broad and seductive, with an almost dense sip, highlighting a slight savory note that accompanies the drinking experience even in the long and persistent finish; the aftertaste reveals a faint spicy flavor. Something more than a simple Gewurztraminer, for a label that Elena Walch wants to make special.
