No Facebook, Just Wine
Wine cannot be scheduled, it is nature who decides
No Facebook, no Twitter, just wine. Peter Dipoli
needs
only a few words to describe the philosophy of the estate winery in
Egna that carries his name. What holds true for him is that wine is not
something that can be planned over the years, but rather a natural product that varies. Chasing after the latest trend therefore makes no sense. And also does not do justice to the wine.
Vegetation
periods can be hotter or cooler, drier or wetter. It would be
miraculous if the grapes tasted the same year after year. Dipoli is
convinced that both winegrowers and wine drinkers have to accept this
aspect. Winegrowers have to safeguard the natural variation potential
of the wine as much as the uniqueness of the terroir. “The producer has
the task of working the grapes – as the vineyard and the vines have
delivered them – into a product that corresponds with the terroir,
habitat, and vintage,” says the winegrower from Egna.
In that
regard, Dipoli has come to grips with the fact that he has to work with
grapes from completely different locations. The vineyards of the Peter
Dipoli Estate Winery are located in Egna, Magré, Termeno, and Cortaccia,
they are located at elevations from 300 to 600 meters, they have
southern or eastern exposures, and are planted on sandy dolomite or loamy chalky soils.
What
thrives here are Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet
Sauvignon, with the grape varieties being carefully matched to the
locations, the vineyards managed prudently, and the grapes processed
respectfully. So no nonsense, just wine.
