The Franz Gojer St. Magdalener Classico 2023 is a vibrant and expressive red wine from the Alto Adige region of Italy. This charming wine, crafted from the indigenous Vernatsch grape, embodies the unique character of the St. Magdalena hillside vineyards.
Franz Gojer, a passionate winemaker dedicated to showcasing the diversity of his region, cultivates his vineyards with meticulous care. Situated at an altitude between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, the vines thrive in well-ventilated, sandy soils composed of glacial moraine and weathered porphyry.
This St. Magdalener Classico is made with a gentle touch, allowing the Vernatsch grape to express its full potential. Hand-harvested grapes are carefully processed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures in large wooden casks, adding further depth and complexity.
The result is a wine with a luminous ruby red color and a captivating bouquet of fresh fruit, including cherries, violets, and red berries. On the palate, the wine is juicy and velvety, with fine tannins and a long, lingering finish.
This versatile wine is a delightful companion to a wide range of dishes, from traditional South Tyrolean speck and Italian appetizers to grilled fish, lamb, veal, and poultry. It's a true expression of the Alto Adige terroir and a testament to the winemaking artistry of Franz Gojer.
