From vineyards on the valley Pinot Grigio floor of the Lowlands , this Pinot Grigio flourishes with outstanding climatic conditions and good soil conditions to the highest standards. The low yield per hectare is reflected in the high level Pinot Grigio of quality.
After the grapes arrive, Pinot Grigio they are gently pressed and clarified through the Pinot Grigio natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out with pure strains of yeast at a controlled Pinot Grigio temperature of 19° C (66° F).
The prominent nose, as well as the excellent acid balance, lend this wine power and structure.

In a winegrowing region Pinot Grigio whose tradition was already pinot grigio famed during the period of the Roman emperors, wine, culture, and art have been closely intertwined throughout history. In this way, South Tyrol – Alto Adige was Pinot Grigio shaped by countless generations of winegrowers as a land of quality wine.
Vineyards cultivation takes part of our family Pinot Grigio history since almost one century, and the enthusiasm towards wine is still anchored deeply in the hart of the third generation.
Culture, nature, tradition and innovation, great respect and development, Pinot Grigio I love and live my environment...

The first mention of the locality of Cortina Pinot Grigio in a document dates back over 700 years and, because it speaks of a continued existence, implies an even greater age for the settlement. The names Curtinego, Curtinie, or Cortine, which have been handed down from documents in Latin from the late 13th and early 14th centuries, found their German equivalents in Curtinie or Cortinie beginning in 1288.
It is quite possible Pinot Grigio that the name stems from a corruption of the Latin pinot grigio curtus dominica , meaning court of the king or lord.
Winemaking has always played a great role in Cortina from time immemorial. Good soil and a mild Alpine microclimate Pinot Grigio contribute to the growth of grapes of excellent quality.
The valley floor around Cortina and the pinot grigio wide selection of grape varieties are as varied as the landscape, a fact which has brought special praise to winemaking in the Lowlands throughout the centuries. The wealth of varietals is without a doubt due to the climatic conditions which are especially favorable to the grapes.
Among these Pinot Grigio conditions are the high number of hours of sunshine (an average of 1,800 per year), the favorable average temperature value (18 degrees C, or 64 degrees F), and the good distribution of precipitation. In addition, the loose, well-aerated soil which is thus easily warmed contributes to the grapes growing well, thereby ensuring a high quality of the wines made from them.
The soils consist of dolomite and limestone with glacial deposits of gravel, sand, and clay. Pinot Grigio Mountain streams bring abundant water after the snowy winters. Hot summers often bring scorching heat to the valley floor, and the large temperature extremes between day and night lend the wines a powerful bouquet. Pinot Grigio The “Ora”, a dry, cool wind, prevails in the entire region, pinot grigio regularly blowing from Lake Garda all the way up to Merano and Bressanone. To a large extent, it prevents the onset of rot after rainfall.
Since the year 1928, when Peter Zemmer founded a wine brokerage business, Pinot Grigio more than a half century has passed and the winery of the Zemmer family, presently under the prudent direction of Mr. Helmuth Zemmer, has developed into one of the leading wineries in South Tyrol – Alto Adige. The wide variety of planting locations and grape varieties and the expert management pinot grigio of the proprietor (with his sons at his side) result in a broad range of full-bodied red wines and a diverse palette of top-cru Pinot Grigio white wines.
The harvest arrives every year at the Pinot Grigio most modernly outfitted winery from its own vineyards and from over 100 winegrowers who are tightly bound to tradition. Environmentally conscious care of the vines and soil, as well as yield reductions in Pinot Grigio the vineyards, long ago ceased for them to be merely empty catchwords.
Healthy, ripe grapes and, consequently, more quality pinot grigio than quantity are the results of this devotion, results which in the winery are then refined into quality wines. The success achieved up to now confirms the Pinot Grigio validity of the path which the winery has followed and is reflected by the numerous national and international recognitions and prizes won by the quality products from the Peter Zemmer winery.
The entire line of S outh Tyrolean – Alto Adige DOC wines is sold in restaurants and in Pinot Grigio quality food and wine shops in Italy and abroad. More than just a good presentation and well-informed sales, the Peter Zemmer Winery is determined to provide the best results of the harvest, wines that are characteristic of their variety, and a good price-quality ratio, a Pinot Grigio result of the tender care that goes into the making of their wine. The special pinot grigio heart of the winery is the newly installed wooden barrel cellar. The highest quality and most noble wines mature in both large and small casks made from French oak (barriques).
