This new Superior white wine recalls the beginnings of the Santa Maddalena Winery in 1930: a year, a number, of special significance for the history of wine-growing in Alto Adige – and for the Bolzano Winery.
The contrast between mountain and valley, Alpine and Mediterranean, determines the character of the cuvée. The vineyards for our white varieties, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio, are located between the valley bottom and the slopes, sometimes gentle, sometimes steep, of the famous Renon near Bolzano. There is considerable variation in the sites at 400 - 700 meters above sea level, with changes in exposure and significant differences in temperature created by the sun of the Dolomites and the winds – strong at times – of the Isarco Valley.
Chief winemaker Stephan Filippi tells about the TAL 1908 and the TAL 1930 ...
Grapes from the best terroirs and vines that are 30 years old and more are rigorously selected, and a knowledge of the climate and microclimate that is the result of many years of experience ultimately defines our cuvée, to which we ascribe power and elegance. Although contradictory terms, they harmonize in this special wine.TAL 1930 is matured for 12 months in small oak barrels and left to age for 14 months in stainless steel tanks before resting in the bottle on the way to perfection for pleasure.
„He who is able to enjoy, no longer drinks wine,
but tastes secrets.“
Salvador Dalì
This cuvée will undoubtedly be shrouded in mystery – through the secret of great and special wines. Its complexity is not a question of logic. It must and can be grasped with all the senses. It combines enigma and precision, the magic of the place and the clarity of the number.
