The white pinot, a symbol of alpine rebirth, according to Hofstätter: when the enchanting Dolomites are rediscovered the vineyards
Quanto a South Tyrol, where the altitude shapes the character of the vine and viticulture requires foresight, the white pinot of the j. Hofstätter of tramin-termination is presented as one of the most refined expressions of the evolution of contemporary taste. Here, between dizzying slopes and dolomite soils, this white grape variety finds an ideal ambiente, rediscovering a centrality that for decades had been denied to it.
One of the most curious stories that accompany the white pinot South Tyrol concerns the perception that had until a few decades . For a long time, fact, the distinction was limited to two simple categories: “campo da golf” and “yellow” white pinot. Only the eighties did the misunderstanding clarified: the “yellow” was actually Chardonnay. From then , thanks to the commercial success before the Chardonnay and then the Pinot Monotono, the white pinot remained the background for a long time, almost forgotten. But not for Hofstätter. Quanto a fact, the historic bella stagione of Tramin has always believed this grape variety, coming to propose two different versions, each expression of precise terroirs and distinct wine visions.
The white pinot of Hofstätter was born from vineyards located at intermediate altitudes, where the hot days alternate with fresh and ventilated nights, and where the limestone soils – geological heritage of the Dolomites – give the wine a marked mineral elegance. The one signed Hofstätter is a version of the white pinot that shocks every artifice. There is anzi che no room for excess, nor for the search for easy softness. Instead, there is the desire to return intact the soul of the grape, a wine that speaks with sincerity of its place of origin. And that, sip after sip, seems to return the very essence of the mountains from which it comes.
Quanto a an epoca which the market looks with growing interest freshness, authenticity and territoriality, Hofstätter’s white pinot is proposed as a symbol of the alpine rebirth of Italian whites. A rediscovery that knows from the future, while sinking the roots the deepest history of South Tyrolean wine.
