Demian Vino Rosato 2024

Wine Description for Demian Vino Rosato 2024 by Pranzegg

Character

A Rosato that radically distances itself from the common, trivial summer wine cliché. Martin Gojer’s interpretation is an intellectual, structured wine with edges and corners. It captivates with a vibrant freshness, fine-bitter spice and an almost autumnal, earthy coolness, supported by a fine, grippy texture. The focus here is not on superficial fruit, but on a gripping drinking flow and an almost untamed, vital energy.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the extreme steep slopes high above Bozen, on the Kohlerer Berg and the Ritten. Characterised by a cool north-west exposure and shade-giving forests, the vines escape the typical South Tyrolean heat. The soils of porphyry, basalt and granite of volcanic origin lend the wine a cool, taut structure, while the nightly downwinds provide a striking play of acidity.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Crafted from the indigenous grape variety Lagrein, which here sheds its otherwise often heavy, muscular style. Cultivation is carried out strictly according to biodynamic principles, supported by Breton Ouessant sheep in the vineyard. In the cellar, any fining and filtration are eschewed. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts and gentle ageing in the cellar result in an unadulterated, artisanal Rosato of great clarity.

Food Pairings

This structured Rosato is an excellent partner for food. It pairs brilliantly with air-dried South Tyrolean Speck, fine fennel salami or a classic Brettljause (cold meat and cheese platter). It also shows its full class alongside vegetarian dishes such as baked beetroot dumplings or mushroom risotto.
