Notes: Harvested from cool, high-altitude sites to retain aromatics; gentle pneumatic pressing, cool stainless-steel fermentation and brief lees contact for subtle texture without oak influence; bottled young to preserve freshness and varietal clarity.

Winery Story: Wilhelm Walch is a long-established Alto Adige producer devoted to precise, terroir-driven whites. The "Prendo" project focuses on cool-climate vineyard parcels with volcanic and calcareous soils; intense canopy management, selective hand-harvests and low yields concentrate flavor and aromatic purity. In the cellar the team uses temperature-controlled fermentations, parcel-by-parcel vinification and restrained use of lees contact to build mouthfeel while preserving freshness. Sustainability practices in the vineyard, rigorous quality control and small-batch blending ensure consistent expression of Pinot Grigio’s aromatic finesse and alpine minerality.
