Pojer e Sandri, Muller Thurgau "Palai", 2022, 750ml
$26
Description
This winery was founded in 1975 by two friends, Mario Pojer and Fiorentino Sandri, with the goal of proving that an untested viticulture region, between the Adige river and the Cembra valley, was capable of producing world class wines. Young Fiorentino inherited his family’s vineyards and Mario was a budding winemaker when their first release, a 1975 Palai Müller-Thurgau, caused quite a stir in the rapidly developing Italian wine scene. Their early success enabled them to add more prized vineyard holdings to their production including sites for several single vineyard bottlings.
This wine is precise and tart with notes of peach and grapefruit with a splash of refreshing pine.
