It offers a refined aromatic profile, characterised by scents of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e, hints of wood and a balsamic note. On the palate, the entry is lively, but evolves into a \u003cstrong\u003efull and velvety\u003c\/strong\u003e sip, balanced by solid freshness and a slightly tart finish. The presence of black pepper and \u003cstrong\u003espirit-soaked fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e defines a bold and well-structured flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Cornaiano, from vineyards cultivated by Girlan located between 250 and 550 metres above sea level, in the areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina. The composition of the \u003cstrong\u003esandy soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, warm and deep, favours optimal ripening of the bunches. Meticulous agronomic care and constant \u003cstrong\u003erespect for the environment\u003c\/strong\u003e allow the natural characteristics of this \u003cstrong\u003eregion of origin\u003c\/strong\u003e to be fully appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bunches are hand-picked to preserve the integrity of the fruit. In the winery, the must is destemmed and undergoes a slow \u003cstrong\u003efermentation at controlled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e in steel tanks. The subsequent malolactic fermentation softens the structure, followed by eight months of ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and concrete tanks. This maturation perfects the tactile texture and clearly brings out the \u003cstrong\u003espicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1923 in a historic 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, \u003cstrong\u003eCantina Girlan\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together around 200 members to create the oenological excellence of South Tyrol.
