The careful extraction delivers an aromatic profile centred on ripe wild berries, enriched by \u003cstrong\u003espicy hints of juniper\u003c\/strong\u003e and notes of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is warm and energetic, supported by well-defined tannins and a full body that preserves the integrity of the fruit. The sip unfolds with a \u003cstrong\u003elong persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing with a finely almondy aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIugum originates from the slopes of the Magré hill, in the municipality of Egna. The vineyards are located between \u003cstrong\u003e300 and 350 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e, with excellent east-south-east exposure. The temperate climate and the composition of the \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e create the ideal environment for balanced grape ripening. The vines are trained using the simple Guyot system with a density of \u003cstrong\u003e7,000 vines per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e, an approach that ensures concentrated fruit and a clear expression of the Alto Adige terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest follows the optimal ripening times for each variety. After destemming, carried out carefully to preserve the whole berries, a \u003cstrong\u003eseparate vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e begins in open wooden vats for about ten days, accompanied by two punch-downs per day. Malolactic fermentation and the subsequent maturation period take place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e: new for the Cabernet Sauvignon and second passage for the Merlot. After one year, the two components are blended into the final blend, which rests for eight months in concrete tanks. This is followed by a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e that stabilises the structure and harmonises the entire sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Latin term Iugum, meaning “yoke” and historically used as a support for vines, symbolises the deep connection between the winery founded in 1987 by Peter Dipoli and the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eterroir of Egna\u003c\/strong\u003e. This ambitious South Tyrolean project expresses the true vocation of the land through a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003efour-year maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e in wooden barrels, concrete, and bottle. The family’s passion culminates in a sublime oenological expression, awarded for the 2019 vintage with the Tre Stelle Veronelli and ninety points from \u003cstrong\u003eVinous\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dipoli Peter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46205319217323,"sku":"60388","price":52.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/dipoli-iugum-2019_60388_1_b60a6174-d207-4004-b164-9a6f60917b67.webp?v=1773811369","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/dipoli-iugum-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
