Pojere e Sandri Vigna Palai (2010) Trentino


A delicious Italian white from Pojere e Sandri, a small winery/distillery located in the alpine village of Faedo that was founded in 1975 by Fiorentino Sandri and his winemaker friend Mario Pojer. The wine is 100% Müller Thurga, a variety found throughout Italy that is thought to be a sub-variety of the Riesling grape. In order to preserve the delicate aromatic characteristic of the grape, they are worked in iperriduction (no oxygen); a proprietary technique using methodologies developed by Pojer & Sandri. Pale straw/yellow with greenish tint. Intensely aromatic nose with hints of peach and citrus. All of the labels on their wines feature the work of German-born, Renaissance-era painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer.
