Penon-Hofstatt

Alto Adige Pinot Bianco DOC ²⁰²⁴

About this wine

The Additional Geographical Unit (UGA) Penon-Hofstatt, which takes its name from the hamlet of Hofstatt, lies above the village of Kurtatsch. Cooling fall winds in the evening provide for great temperature swings between day and night and create an ideal, breezy microclimate.

The mineral-rich structure of dolomite, quartz, mica and clay minerals is still visible in house or dry masonry walls in this hamlet and characterizes this extraordinary UGA wine PENON-HOFSTATT. In the glass, it shines with delicate apple and pear, ripe lime and lemon balm aromas. On the palate, these are accompanied by discreet notes of Alpine flowers and herbs. The straightforward wine gains smooth texture through its ageing in large oak barrels, rounding out the lively acidity.
PENON-HOFSTATT: the all-rounder.
