Stoan

The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local dialect is referred to as "stoan." This aromatic white wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer, blended together and fermented in large oak barrels and refined an additional seven months before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant gold in color, Stoan has delicate aromas of elder blossom, rose petals and tropical fruits. On the palate, this concentration of flavors continues, unfolding into an elegant and creamy finish.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs deliciously with flavorful starters, such as tuna ceviche or entrees such as grilled chicken with mango salsa.
