Vintage details

The 2024 vintage in Alto Adige was characterized by balanced weather conditions: a mild winter and a dry spring favored uniform grape ripening, while the diurnal temperature shifts during the summer months enhanced aromas and acidity. The result is a Pinot Bianco with a clear aromatic profile, balancing freshness and structure.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking follows the Kettmeir tradition, always attentive to the most genuine expression of the territory. The grapes undergo soft pressing, a process that extracts only the free-run juice, the finest and most fragrant part of the juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, preserving the delicate fruity and floral aromas of the varietal. Aging continues in steel for several months until bottling, to maintain its freshness and typical mineral tension.
