LIGHT & CRUNCHY
SUSTAINABLE FARMING

Gojer's estate, Glögglhof, is right in the middle of the St. Magdalena hill, a perfect amphitheater just North-East of the city of Bolzano. Franz, the 5th generation to make wine at Glögglhof, is one of the 'gang of four,' a group of fine small producers from the Alto Adige who share a philosophy of winemaking: very expressive, very typical, very well-made wines.

Winemaker: Florian Gojer

Variety: 100% Vernatsch (Schiava)

FarmingSustainable

Terroir: Planted in 1948 at 600 MASL, SW Facing. Porphyry (volcanic) aoils. Karneid, the vineyard site, is a high-altitude plot on the other side of the valley from the winery. These Schiava vines were already very old when the Gojer’s purchased the site, hence the name ‘Alte Reben’, which means ‘Old Vines’. 

Vinification: 12 days maceration, controlled low temperature fermentation in stainless steel with selected yeasts

Aging: Aged in stainless steel for 7 months

Tasting Notes Mouthwatering and savory, with notes of pomegranate and herbs. An excellent complement to most pork dishes and great with salumi.
