I can only say that if you get to Sudtirol in Italy, you must book a wine-tasting(of course, thru me!!) at the Ciasa Salares hotel with Clemens, the owner and master sommelier.
He pulled out huge pieces of fresh baked bread, local speck(pigs raised 1km away) smoked and cured in house as well as smoked Pancetta from Piemonte. We asked for all local wines (3 whites & 3 red) and the main tasting was just that and truly blew us away.
#1)-Dornach #25 2019 Pinot Bianco
I love these Dornach wines with their odd numbering system and Pinot Bianco is indeed one of the go-to white grapes of this region
#2)Rock 2019 "Viel Anders" or "old vines" Riesling(70%)/Muller Thurgau(30%) had two grapes that I am not a huge fan of, but this wine had smokey notes and a golden color that would have pleased anyone and tasted like no other wine we have ever had.
#3)Bronner #04 2017 from Thomas Niedermayr in Hof Gandberg was another novel grape from this fabulous wine region
#4)Roberto Ferrari 2020 Pinot Noir from Terlano had a magnificent fruit balance with a hint of acidity
#5)Martin Gojer 2017 Schiava(or Vernatsch) was from Bolzano(where we would visit later)
#6)Weingut Pranzegg 2020 Teroldego was aged in amphoras
There was more as we were treated to 25 year old DOP aged Balsamic and a "Morbier de Chevre" to pour the balsamic on which was Clemens favorite cheese in the world from the Loire and coated with vegetable ash. It is made in two parts and aged for 2 months!
Lambrusco wine was poured next from Mennabo and while not from the region it was a yummy palate cleanser and great with that speck!
Finally a 2000 Domaine Gaube "La Muntada" made from Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsualt was offered up before we headed to dinner!
