Pfefferer

The Pfefferer "Sun" from Colterenzio originates from South Tyrol. Colterenzio is a cooperative of about 300 independent winemakers founded in 1960. Thanks to Luis Rafer and his experience in the New World, it became possible over time to improve the quality of the grapes and reduce production in favor of greater care and respect for the raw material. The label features soft and warm colors with cursive fonts that communicate elegance and finesse, capable of conveying the quality of the bottled product. The "Sun" Pfefferer from Colterenzio is a blend of Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Bianco grapes cultivated at an altitude between 250 and 550 meters above sea level in the areas between Bolzano, Corniano, and Appiano. The climate is characterized by icy winds coming from the Alps and a milder temperature thanks to the influence of Lake Garda: this condition causes a sudden temperature fluctuation between day and night, leading to full ripening of the grapes. The soil is mainly composed of clayey terrains, limestone sediments, about 150 different types of minerals, and calcareous rock. The three varieties of grapes are harvested at the same time of year and undergo fermentation in steel; aging occurs on the yeasts, a practice that promotes good aroma development. The Colterenzio "Sun" Pfefferer presents in the glass a straw yellow color with bright reflections; on the nose, a bouquet of scents ranging from ripe white fruit combined with hints of white flowers and balsamic herbs with a spicy note finish. On the palate, it is fruity and full-bodied, with a pleasant fresh finish. It pairs excellently with delicate seafood dishes such as carpaccio and sea bream, but also with sushi and fish-based appetizers and sauces. A special product that is well suited for informal aperitifs with friends or summer family lunches to discover in the glass a wine born from a philosophy focused on quality and the union of multiple know-how for an intense and balanced product.
