Vinification of the Solaris Gandberg Weiss IGT 1.5l Magnum from Gandberg

The Solaris Gandberg Weiss IGT 1.5l Magnum comes from the outstanding Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region, more precisely from the renowned Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT subregion. There, the unique combination of calcareous soils and an Alpine climate produces ripe Solaris grapes with intense aromas and pronounced freshness. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically (IT‑BIO‑013), contributing to improved grape quality and sustainable soil care. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure that only the finest fruit is used and optimal ripeness is achieved.

The vinification process uses modern techniques while preserving the wine’s traditional style. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the must is fermented at a controlled temperature to preserve the fruity aromas and clear structure. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, giving the wine its characteristic freshness. The wine is then matured on fine lees, which gives the Solaris Gandberg Weiss IGT 1.5l Magnum its creamy texture. Through this maturation, the wine gains complexity and refinement without losing its vitality.

The use of a cork closure ensures gentle maturation in the bottle, allows slight air exchange, and preserves the aromas over an extended period. With an alcohol content of 13.0% vol, the Solaris Gandberg Weiss IGT 1.5l Magnum offers a perfect balance of power and elegance. The ideal serving temperature of 11 to 13 degrees Celsius wonderfully highlights its fresh citrus aromas and harmonious acidity.
