"Büchsenöffner" Cuvée VDT Bianco 2022

Its name, to the average Italian, is impronuncible. But it gets easier if you know the translation. Büchsenöffner, in fact, simply means can or bottle opener... Simpler than that. Specifically, this is a Cuvée VDT, produced by the Pitzner winery from 90% Moscato Giallo and 10% Pinot Grigio. Grapes from Cardano, where the vineyards are located at around 330 metres above sea level. Vineyards of great charm, partly trained on the pergola, partly on Guyot and partly on Alberello. Vines up to 45 years old, capable of producing bunches of great quality and concentration. Here the harvest begins in mid-September. The whole grapes are gently pressed, followed by 12 hours of maceration, natural sedimentation of the must and controlled fermentation in stainless steel barrels. After processing, the wine remains in contact with its own yeasts, subjected to periodic bâtonnage, until February. Brilliant golden yellow in colour with rosé highlights, the nose reveals a fresh, fragrant bouquet. It is even described as 'summer in the glass', thanks to pleasant floral notes, white melon and ripe fruit. Then subtle notes of nutmeg and a hint of apricot. In the mouth it is elegant and tasty, well balanced between freshness and smoothness, with a clear mineral perception and a juicy note on the finish. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with Asian cuisine.
