The setting of the Eisack Valley is the birthplace of Sabiona Kerner, a white wine that expresses the character of its terroir in a crystal-clear manner. It is offered by the Cantina Valle Isarco, whose vineyards extend over stony alluvial soils rich in diorite. This soil composition, combined with the cool, sunny climate typical of the area, gives Kerner a particular minerality and freshness. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 630 to 680 metres, which contributes to slow ripening and the preservation of a beautiful natural acidity. Kerner is an aromatic grape variety, obtained by crossing Trollinger and Riesling. A relatively young vine, thanks to its resistance to cold and its ability to adapt to difficult soils, it has spread rapidly in many wine-growing regions. In South Tyrol, in particular, this grape variety finds an ideal habitat, resulting in wines that are naturally characterised by intense aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit, white flowers and spicy notes. The vinification of Sabiona Kerner follows tradition. The grapes are harvested by hand and immediately undergo a gentle crushing. Then the must ferments at a controlled temperature in acacia wood barrels, giving the wine a light spicy note. Maturation on fine lees in tonneaux follows. Brilliant pale yellow, the nose is striking for its intense and aromatic bouquet, with notes of apricot, peach, white flowers and a slight hint of spice. In the mouth, it is dry, fresh and savoury, with a medium body and a long, lingering finish. This Kerner is a young wine that is already ready to drink. But it can also be cellared for a few years, developing more developed and complex notes. It goes well with fish dishes, shellfish, white meats, fresh cheeses and grilled vegetables.
