Rosso per tutti 2024

Wine description for Rosso per tutti 2024 by Pranzegg

Character

A red cuvée that reinterprets South Tyrolean tradition with refreshing lightness. Instead of relying on heavy extract and high alcohol levels, Martin Gojer brings an exceedingly drinkable, juicy red wine to the glass with a moderate 11.5% ABV. The cool stylistics reveal a fine acid structure, vibrant fruit and silky tannins – a counter-concept to opulent mass-market wines, combining supreme drinkability with artisanal precision.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes originate from steep vineyard sites above Bolzano on the Kohlerer Berg and Ritten. In contrast to the region’s typically sun-drenched slopes, a north-western exposure here provides shade from adjacent forests and cool nocturnal down-valley winds. The volcanically influenced soils of porphyry, basalt and granite impart a striking mineral tension to the wine. The vines are cultivated biodynamically using the traditional pergola system, which protects the soil from drying out and allows for optimal ripeness without overheating.

Grape Variety & Vinification

This assemblage brings together South Tyrol’s two indigenous classics: the dark, structure-driven Lagrein and the pale, fruit-forward Vernatsch. Handcrafted work in steep slopes and gentle support from bees, chickens and sheep in the vineyard shape the viticulture. In the cellar, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts and matures unfined and unfiltered. The result is an unadulterated expression of the vineyard sites, giving the varieties their natural freedom.

Food Pairings

Served slightly chilled, its slender body makes this wine an outstanding match for a traditional South Tyrolean Mahrtsmause (cold platter) with Speck and matured alpine cheese. It also pairs wonderfully with lightly seared veal, savoury pasta dishes with tomato sauce, or simply as an unpretentious glass to enjoy in good company.
