More about this wine

Peter Dipoli

Peter Dipoli is a talent from the new generation of winemakers. After extensive research, he identified the high and steep hills of Alto Adige as ideal for making complex and rich red and white wines with the potential for aging. In 1978, the Dipoli family bought a 1.2-hectare vineyard in Penon. It is a village in the Alto Adige region of northern Italy. Peter uproots the local red variety and plants Sauvignon Blanc. At this height, the grapes ripen longer and grow better, keeping the acids that allow them to age in the bottle fresh. Of course, these efforts pay off, because his Voglar - 100% Sauvignon Blanc, grown on almost vertical hills and matured in acacia barrels, is a bouquet of gorgeous exotic fruits and rich minerality. When Peter discovered a countertop in the region with a milder climate and clay soils, he repeated the success of his white wine with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a winery with a bright future ahead of it, thanks to the wines of its own nature that it produces.

Alto-Adige

Alto Adige (or Sudtirol for German-speaking two-thirds of its inhabitants) is located in northern Italy and borders Veneto to the east, Lombardy to the west and the Tyrol region of Austria to the north. Stretching to 47 degrees north latitude and altitude over 3050 meters, Alto Adige is a region with topographic and climatic extremes. The main wine-growing areas in the region follow the Adige river valley from Merano in the north to Trentino in the south and are planted both at the bottom of the valley and on its slopes, many of which are incredibly steep. Most wines from this region are produced by cooperatives which, due to the need for efficiency in harvesting, wine production and trade, have become known for their constant quality and reliable quantity. Nowadays, there is a tendency to increase the number of independent producers, which also gain a good reputation. The dominant local varieties are the red Schiava and Lagrein, the most common being Schiava (Vernatsch in German), which makes wine with a medium body, low alcohol and tannin levels and is often mixed with the denser Lagrein to give more depth and power of wine. The white varieties used in Alto Adige are the traditional German Muller-Thurgau, Sylvaner and Gewurztraminer, as well as the French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio. The Pinot Noir plantations have recently increased as well.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
