GRAWU

___

When we think of South Tyrol, something moves in our minds, a land of large white wines, often unexpressed, a land dominated by large wine cooperatives. But what is happening in South Tyrol? GRAWÜ stands for Grasselli and Wurth or the crasis of the surnames of Leila and Dominic, they are a couple, she is Italian, he is German, they have found halfway the place to plant their roots and give birth to their family project. Dominic is a training oenologist. Leila on the other hand has a background in social work. Together they take care of everything, from planning the work in the vineyard, to the cellar and the administrative part. It is now eight years that Dominic lives and works in Alto Adige, first as a company manager, but today together with his wife Leila they are finally giving life to their project.

Dominic and Leila buy grapes from organic growers with whom they are tightening an increasingly strong relationship for a common agricultural purpose. They buy the grapes because in Alto Adige today one hectare of land costs between 800 thousand and 1 million and 200 thousand euros, it is not easy to start for a newborn company.

At the same time they found a small vineyard in Val Venosta on a ridge that only they wanted to continue to cultivate, and they planted a resistant vine Sauvignoner Gris, for them it is the answer to the difficult mountain viticulture. Also in Val Venosta, a Riesling and Pinot Noir vineyard will start working in 2019.

The first test of winemaking in 2011, in 2018 they feel ready to be known by bottling 7,000 bottles.

The wines of Dominic and Leila are the Alto Adige that you have not yet drunk, they are a new vision of the crystalline expression of the high Athenian fruit, crystalline like the light you see in the mountains.
