Alois Lageder Terra Alpina Pinot Grigio 2024
The wine is straw yellow with a green tint. It is fruit forward with notes of apple, peach and citrus. The palate is crisp and vibrant with a fresh mouth-watering finish.
'Terra Alpina' sources Pinot Grigio from select vineyards in the foothills of the Dolomites at an altitude of 220 - 350 metres above sea level. The vineyards are situated on south and southeast-facing slopes, maximising sun exposure. The soils are primarily composed of dolomitic limestone, contributing to the wine's minerality. Altitude plays a role, with cooler nights preserving acidity.
The Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This preserves the delicate fruit aromas and enhances the wine's natural freshness. Minimal intervention is practised, allowing the terroir to express itself fully. The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 4 months before bottling, adding complexity and texture.
Alois Lageder has a rich, family-owned heritage spanning six generations. Each generation has shaped the company in its own unique way. In 1823, Johann Lageder laid the foundation stone and began trading in wine alongside his work as a wagon maker. Subsequently, his successors bought the first vineyards and began making wine themselves. A significant development occurred in 1934 when the family acquired the Löwengang Estate in Magrè, where their headquarters are still located today. In the 1990s, they set out to achieve a level of quality that was not only pioneering for their winery but also for the Alto Adige wine region. With a holistic approach to viticulture, the vineyards have been cultivated biodynamically since 2004, and they encourage their viticultural partners to adopt either organic or biodynamic practices. Their stylish wines capture their distinctive geographical heritage with artisanal flair.
