VIGNETI DELLE DOLOMITI IGT Mueller Thurgau Colterenzio 2009
Type: White wine
Grape: Mueller Thurgau 100%
Fermentation and refinement: Steel vats + bottle
Distinguished fragrance, intensely floral on the nose underpinned by a discreet hint of Muscat.
Description: Grown in cool, high vineyards this delicately aromatic, early-ripening white variety has become a South Tyrolean specialty. This wine reveals much of its Riesling parentage: pale yellow tinged with green in color, fresh, flowery and gently aromatic on the nose with a discreet hint of elderflower mingled with peach and Muscat; pleasantly citrusy and crisp on the palate. Cellaring potential 2-3 years. Food Choices: Makes an excellent aperitif and superb partner for fresh green salad with passion fruit dressing, gently spiced Thai-dishes, deep-fried fish, prawn salad and shellfish. Serve lightly chilled: 10-12° C.
