Vigna Toren Cabernet-Sauvignon Alto Adige Riserva

100% Cabernet-Sauvignon

Production area: Niclara, hamlet of Cortaccia on the Wine Road. Southern exposure of the vineyard at 270- 320 m above sea level.

Terrain: il terreno ad alto tenore sabbioso si distingue per l’elevata presenza di ciottoli calcarei. La sabbia fa sì che il terreno si riscaldi velocemente e che ceda poi alle viti, nelle ore notturne, il caldo accumulato durante il giorno

Harvest: manual

Vinification: Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested in this vineyard are vinified as "TOREN reserve" only in climatically optimal years and upon reaching full ripeness. After harvest, careful destemming is done, removing the green parts. Alcoholic fermentation takes place during a three-week maceration

Refinement: the wine ages for one year in barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place. It then clarifies for six months in tanks before being bottled to age another two years in the bottle

Color: dark garnet red

Fragrance: hints of tobacco spice that then give way to fruity undertones of black currant and cranberry

Flavor: Fresh and firm acidity, enhanced by ripe and soft tannins that, after expressing their intensity on the palate, linger long in the aftertaste

Alcoholic Grade: 14% vol

THE COMPANY

Tiefenbrunner fully represents the history of winemaking in South Tyrol: the “Linticlar” estate is the first mentioned in official records dating back to 1225; in 1848, the Turmhof was entered in the commercial register as a winery, making it one of the oldest in all of South Tyrol. Herbert Tiefenbrunner, who approached the art of winemaking at the age of 15, started his own bottling business in 1943, aided by his wife Hilde. In 2000 Christof and his wife Sabine, the fifth generation of the Tiefenbrunner family, took over full management of the estate and today they are also supported by their two children Anna and Johannes. The estate covers 25 hectares in Niclara, Cortaccia and Magrè, between 250 and 1,000 meters above sea level; it also can rely on grapes from 55 hectares of historic vintners. The mild climate, slightly clayey soils with a high lime content are the perfect basis for vineyard development that are located on the western slope of the Bassa Atesina, benefiting from optimal microclimates and exposures. The flagship of the winery is the vineyard at 1,000 meters on Mount Favogna where the Feldmarschall von Fenner, the highest MĂ¼ller- Thurgau planted vineyard in Europe, originates, confirming Tiefenbrunner’s great skill and foresight as one of South Tyrol’s leading wine interpreters.
