Grawü, PN Roots (2020)

GRAWÜ is the sum of the personal and professional partnership between Leila GRAselli and Dominic WÜrth. Leila is Italian, Dominic German, and they have decided to establish themselves somewhere in the middle of their native towns – Italy’s Alto Adige, (or Sud Tyrol as the German speaking inhabitants call this beautiful mountainous region on the border with Austria.) It’s the perfect place for their kids to grow up bilingual and a region that is well known for its wines. Their wonderful wines are the fruit of the harmonious alchemy between a deep knowledge of winemaking, the respect for nature and terroir, and a strong will to push the boundaries of conventional winemaking in order to make wine as they think wine should be. They farm themselves a few small parcels, but most of the fruits are coming from farmers partners of them, with whom they work in the fields just as if it was their own vineyards. They all are farmers following organic practices and high respect for bio-diversity. PN Roots: ROOTS! The result of many years of experience and deep trust in nature. Interpretations from a single vineyard and only in the best years. Limited and not available every year. 100% Pinot Noir, fermented 8 months on the skins in large wooden barrels, then aged 1 year in used barriques and 1 year in bottle before release. Unfiltered.
