Imbottigliato all'origine da Cantina Valle Isarco - Chiusa
Nestled in the Dolomites, the Isarco Valley is a unique wine-growing area. Here, where the air is clear and the soils are rich in minerals, lies Adamantis, an exclusive cuvée that expresses the very essence of this corner of South Tyrol. The grapes used for its production come only from vineyards located at an altitude of between 600 and 850 metres above sea level. This elevated position ensures a good temperature range between day and night and contributes to grapes that are rich in aromas and have a well-balanced acidity. Adamantis, IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti proposed here by Cantina Valle Isarco is a successful blend of no less than four grape varieties: Sylvaner, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Grigio and Kerner. Each of these grape varieties brings its own unique characteristics to the blend, resulting in a very pleasant wine. Vinification begins with a hand harvest. Once in the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed after a short contact with the skins. Alcoholic fermentation and maturation take place in barriques, where the wine matures on its fine lees for about 18 months. This long ageing in wood contributes to making the wine more complex and rounded. A white of great balance and finesse, its colour is straw yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, a broad and complex bouquet, with notes of white flowers, tropical fruit, peach, white pepper, incense and a delicate citrus finish. On the palate, however, it is enveloping and persistent, with sensations of ripe fruit and spices. The finish is long and elegant, with a pleasant savoury note. An excellent meditation wine, on the table it accompanies fish and white meat dishes, also with sauces.
Despite the fact that the Valle Isarco valley boasts a very old winemaking tradition, the beautiful cooperative winery was only founded in 1961, by 24 families. Cantina Valle Isarco is the youngest wine co-operative in South Tyrol and today, after more than 60 years of existence, can count on the work of no less than 135 members who cultivate a total of 150 hectares of vineyards, spread over 11 municipalities from Bolzano to the south of Bressanone. The Eisack Valley offers one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in South Tyrol, characterised by majestic mountains, ancient farms, castles, monasteries and villages, magnificent chestnut groves and, above all, terraced vineyards with their tidy stone walls. Here, the winegrowers do ‘heroic’ work, accustomed as they are to caring for predominantly steep terrain, with plants growing up to 950 metres high. Vineyards that are often tiny in size but just as often characterised by unique soil and climate conditions. The special microclimate of this area, characterised by hot summer days and cold nights during the harvest period, ensures the production of fresh, fruity and mineral-rich wines. Overall, the Cantina Valle Isarco's annual production is around 950,000 bottles, divided between no less than 14 varieties, of which 10 white and 4 red. The total number of labels is 28, including some very interesting special editions. The winery's ‘white’ vocation is best expressed by the good local grape varieties, such as Kerner, Sylvaner, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürztraminer and, of course, Müller Thurgau.
