TAL 1930 commemorates the beginnings of the Santa Maddalena winery in 1930: a year of particular significance for the history of viticulture in South Tyrol and for the Bolzano winery. The contrast between mountain and valley – alpine and Mediterranean – determines the character of this exceptional cuvée. The vineyards for the white varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio lie between the valley floor and the sometimes gentle, sometimes steep slopes of the famous Renon near Bolzano. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 to 700 metres and vary greatly in location and temperature due to the sun from the Dolomites and the sometimes strong winds of the Isarco Valley.

Grapes from the best terroirs and vines that are 30 years old and older are rigorously selected and the knowledge of the climate and microclimate, which is the result of many years of experience, ultimately determines this powerful yet elegant cuvée. TAL 1930 is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels and then matures for 14 months in stainless steel tanks before resting in the bottle on its way to perfection. 1,897 numbered bottles were bottled.

Pale straw yellow with golden reflections, cool and seductive. Intense yet elegant notes of exotic fruits such as mango, pineapple and melon on the nose, combined with fresh hints of grapefruit and lime. Flavours of apple, pear and lychee are accompanied by hints of elderflower, jasmine and a feather-light, caramelly sweetness. A stimulating and very supple freshness on the palate, plus an almost exuberant generosity. Every sip is invigorating and persistent, with a mineral finesse and wonderful length: a South Tyrolean white wine monument! SUPERIORE.DE

"Here, ripe yellow local fruit is paired with exotic fruit such as pineapple and a touch of mango, followed by mineral notes from the porphyry soil with delicate smoky nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, with an overall cooler and more tightly woven impression. As in the previous year, the spicy, savoury notes set an important tone, as do the juicy acidity and mineral piquancy, which give the wine a balanced contrast." Weinwisser

"The 2021 TAL 1930 is a bright white wine that boasts clear intensity, especially in terms of bouquet. Stone fruit, citrus and glacier mineral appear at the top, and cede to a medium-bodied mouthfeel. There are salty sensations on the finish that match the ripe sweetness of the fruit. This is a small-batch release of 1,897 numbered bottles." Wine Advocate

"Spicy orange on the aromatic nose. Nice weight of fruit, yellow apple and stone fruit, Meyer lemon and a refreshing, salty finish." Decanter
