The vines grow at an altitude of 450 m above sea level, in lime, clay and gravel soils, on volcanic porphyry. The position and the exposure of the slope ensure optimal sunstroke which gives rise to a full wine with a great aging potential. Winemaking The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excesspressure on the grapes.

Production areaThe name "448 s.l.m." refers to the geographical positioning of the historical farmstead of Cantina Girlan, which is located at an altitude of 448 m above sea level. The Vernatsch grapes grow in several vineyards of our production area. Here, the soils are rich in minerals, the result of ice age sedimentation.WinemakingThe grapes are picked by hand and delivered in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Destemming and a slow must fermentation at a controlled temperature take place in stainless steel tanks. Due to longer maceration time more color and tannin is extracted from the grapes. The malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, whereas the aging takes place in concrete tanks. Tasting notes & food matching Vernatsch is the historical variety of Cornaiano. The wine shows a velvety and elegant bouquet. The aroma is characterized by violets and almonds.

Growing area The grapes for this wine derive from our 3 Pinot Noir-growing sites, at an altitude between 380 and 530m. The soils are characterized, on one hand, by morainic deposits on volcanic porphyry rock in Oltradige, and on the other hand, by west-facing, loamy and calcareous soils on the Eastern hillsides of Bassa Atesina. Winemaking The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. After destemming, the must is filled by gravity into the steel tanks where the alcoholic fermentation takes place (18-20 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in large wooden oak barrels (50 hl), and for further 6 months in the bottle. Tasting notes & food matching Ruby red color with intense aroma of sweet and sour cherry as well as raspberry. This wine shows a lively acidity-framework and convinces with a juicy finish. Thanks to its velvety structure, it delightfully accompanies first dishes of the Italian kitchen as well as a wide variety of meat dishes.

Growing area For this wine we exclusively use selected grapes of 100% Pinot Bianco grown on the hillsides of Oltradige, at an altitude ranging from 450 to 550 m above sea level, in well aired vineyards. The particular combination of soils - from clayey limestone soils to volcanic porphyry soils - gives this wine its unique character. Winemaking The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation is followed. 40% of the must ferments at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, while 60% takes place in large oak barrels of 50 hl. A few of these oak barrels continue with the malolactic fermentation. The aging on the fine lees will take 7 months. Tasting notes & food matching Pinot Bianco has compact bunches of small greenish grapes. It is the most widely cultivated white grape variety for Cantina Girlan. Thanks to its delicate, fresh and at the same time, full flavour, the Platt&Riegl Pinot Bianco is the perfect wine for a wide variety of occasions: it delighfully accompanies antipasti, hors d’oeuvres and delicate fish dishes, but is also very popular as an aperitif.
