{"id":44,"count":215,"description":"Colmar is one of the driest towns in France, as the Vosges mountains intercept rainfall from the west before it reaches the vineyards on their eastern slopes. Alsace wine grows in this rain shadow across a finely fragmented mosaic of granite, limestone, sandstone and volcanic rock, with each vineyard site imprinting its own distinctive character upon Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gew\u00fcrztraminer. Our Alsatian wines come from three biodynamic domaines and a young natural wine duo based in Zellenberg: Grand Crus with decades of ageing potential, dry village wines, Cr\u00e9mant and skin-contact

La catena montuosa trattiene i venti umidi da ovest e le uve maturano in autunni lunghi e asciutti. Decisivo per il carattere \u00e8 il sottosuolo: con lo sprofondamento della fossa renana la roccia si spezz\u00f2 in zolle, ed \u00e8 per questo che <strong>granito, calcare, marna, arenaria e scisto<\/strong> spesso distano solo poche centinaia di metri l'uno dall'altro. Il granito d\u00e0 Riesling tesi, calcare e marna conferiscono pienezza a Pinot Gris e Gew\u00fcrztraminer. Sopra Thann si innalza il Rangen, un vigneto estremamente ripido di <strong>roccia vulcanica<\/strong>. Il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/riesling-rangen-de-thann-clos-saint-urbain-grand-cru-2017-domaine-zind-humbrecht\/\">Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos-Saint-Urbain Grand Cru 2017<\/a> mostra di cosa \u00e8 capace questo suolo: fumo, pietra focaia, pietra bagnata e un'acidit\u00e0 che sostiene il vino per molti anni.<\/p>\n<h2>Riesling, Pinot Gris e i 51 Grand Cru<\/h2>\n<p>Il vino alsaziano si etichetta tradizionalmente in base al vitigno. Oltre al <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/sorte\/riesling\/\">Riesling<\/a>, a segnare la regione sono il Pinot Gris, con fumo e frutta gialla, e il Gew\u00fcrztraminer, con rosa e litchi, affiancati da Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Muscat e Sylvaner. Il Pinot Noir \u00e8 l'unica variet\u00e0 rossa e oggi, nei vigneti calcarei pi\u00f9 freschi, viene vinificato con grande finezza. Al di sopra dei vini di villaggio e di singolo vigneto si collocano <strong>51 Grand Cru<\/strong>, ciascuno con una propria geologia, dal granito del Brand a Turckheim alla marna calcarea dell'Hengst. Molti vignaioli fanno ormai fermentare i loro vini in modo nettamente pi\u00f9 secco rispetto a una generazione fa, e <strong>ben due terzi dei nostri vini alsaziani sono secchi<\/strong>. Accanto a questi ci sono i dolci da muffa nobile, Vendanges Tardives e S\u00e9lections de Grains Nobles.
