Riesling Trentino doc Pojer e Sandri 2021

Riesling by Pojer e Sandri is entirely harvested in Faedo, at a moderate height between 350 and 750 metres upon the sea level. In this area, Riesling vine expresses its best features thanks to the volcanic soil and the Dolomite limestones. In the glass, it is straw yellow with bright greenish shades. The bouquet is intense with hints of citrus, yellow apple, alpine herbs, broom and yarrow. The sip is long and persistent, with delicate fruity notes and a fresh, mineral and sapid aftertaste. We recommend it with fish starters, fresh cheese, eggs and quiche Lorraine.

Pojer and Sandri’s cave arises in 1975, thanks to a meeting between Fiorentino Sandri and Mario Pojer, who wanted to launch a winery to produce high quality wine, starting from the vineyards situated between the Adige and the Cembra Valley, in Trentino. The first wine, produced in 1975, was a good Muller Thurgau, endowed with an elegant and precious taste, followed by the Chardonnay’s production. Little by little the cave increased its sizes, up to the present 26 hectares of vineyards, arranged on 6 different districts. In 1982 a distillery was built , and this was one of the first to produce grappa: all the spirits, the brandy and the other grappa derive from the regional raw material produced in the cave, as currant or quinces. Recently the cave has gained lot of success, following the creation of a new kind of wine, the Merlino, a specialty to combine with chocolate.
