The story: Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then 24 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines. Today, about 200 greatly committed and motivated winegrowers and their families farm an area covering about 230 hectares of vineyards in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina, expressing the very best of Alto Adige.

Why You'll Love Me: This wine pours a ruby red, offering an intense aroma of sweet and sour cherry as well as raspberry. Showing a lively acidity and good framework, it convinces with a juicy finish and velvety structure.
