Gewürztraminer
Trentino DOC
Maso Clinga is an ancient rural structure of noble origin (XVI century), unparalleled in style in Trentino. Set in the Municipality of Lavis, this area has been identified as the perfect site for cultivating the Gewürztraminer grape variety after the application of specific ‘Zoning’ research studies. The Maso Clinga terrain is characterized by a silty-gravelly soil, originating from deposits of sandstones and siltstones lying on the porphyric platform of Permian origin (dating 270 million years ago). This wine has a straw-yellow colour and an intense, distinctive and flowery aroma. Full-bodied, refined and typically sapid on the palate.
