MURI-GRIES TENUTA CANTINA CONVENTO, Piazza Gries 21 - 39100 Bolzano
We certainly would not put it in the small group of "common" grape varieties in Italy. Yet Silvaner is a grape that can really give great satisfaction. Originally from Germany, this grape variety has found a home in several wine regions of the world, including Italy, and in particular South Tyrol, where, thanks to its cool climate and mineral-rich soils, it gives rise to truly interesting products. Like this one proposed by Muri-Gries. In this case, the grapes grow on the southeast-facing slopes of the Bolzano municipality, at an altitude of about 500 meters. Sandy, gravelly soils that are particularly suited. In the cellar, after a week of temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the wine ages in tanks, also made of steel. In the glass it has an inviting deep straw yellow color, with clear aromas that recall herbs, such as chamomile and dried hay, fresh flowers, arnica and dandelion. In the mouth, however, it impresses with good structure and pleasant acidity. It is an inviting and pleasant drinking wine, with a warm and persistent finish. Best served chilled, paired with elaborate hors d'oeuvres, it also pairs well with grilled fish and aged cheeses.
From Switzerland with love. This could be summarized as the beautiful story of Muri-Gries, dating back to 1845 when, a group of Benedictine monks from Muri, Switzerland, arrived in Gries, just outside Bolzano. Here they took over the abbey of the Augustinian canons and with it their wine business, which was already centuries old. Thus was born a close symbiosis between convent, winery and vineyards, which has remained intact to this day. Today, the Muri-Gries winery can count on the production of excellent wines made exclusively from the grapes of the estate's finest vineyards. In the winery, modern steel tanks are used for vinification. Then wooden barrels and barriques to complete the aging of the good wines made especially from Lagrein, an indigenous variety that loves the South Tyrolean soils.
