The Love of Terroir and Culture
A new wine project with very old vines
Warm temperatures during the day, cool nights, ideal soils, and
grapevines some of which are over a hundred years old: it’s no wonder
that Roberta, Cristina, and Giuseppe Fugatti decided to set up the Von Blumen Wine project in Pochi above Salorno. With the Millesimo 2013, they began with the bottling of their first wines.
The
Fugattis have over twelve hectares of grape growing areas in Pochi.
Their foundation is formed by limestone and porphyry soils, and the
climate here in the extreme south of Alto Adige is ideal for
winegrowing: during the vegetation period, average temperatures of 18
degrees C. are registered, and the cool nights give the grapes a lot of
aroma. “In our wines, you can taste the terroir”, declares Giuseppe
Fugatti. “The mineral-rich quality combines with a natural spiciness
and thus imparts to the wine a lively and refreshing balance in flavor.”
In addition, the special features of the various grape
varieties are noticed with Von Blumen Wine, above all else the Pinot
Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, and Lagrein, but the
management that is close to nature is also apparent. “The protection of the soiland the habitat is of fundamental importance for the quality of the raw
materials and for the sustainable protection of the vineyards,” says
the winegrower.
In the end, it’s not just about thinking of
today. Fugatti adds, “We have the task of preserving the foundations so
that future generations are also provided with the gift of a whole
gamut of wines which reflect the love for the region of origin as well
as for the culture of the people who take care of them.”
