Wine Maker:
Iginio Pedrotti
Consultant of
Quality: Dr. Enno Lippold
The Pedrottivini is a family-owned
wine company with a long history. At the beginning of the last
century, Italo Pedrotti was an expert viticulturist and fine enologist
who started with the mindset of producing the highest-quality
wine. The same principles are still valid today for the company,
managed now by his son, Iginio Pedrotti.
Through experience comes knowledge, and almost 700 years
of winemaking expertise and an intimate understanding of the region’s unique
land, air and water elements make Altanuta a wine of uncommon elegance, craftsmanship
and taste.
Located in the Valdadige region, in the northeast corner of Italy
near Austria, Altanuta is created from grapes grown on rugged, mountainous
slopes that rose from immense upheaval in the earth’s crust millions of years
ago. Appropriately, even the wine’s name, Altanuta (alto = high, tenuta = estate),
evokes the crisp, refreshing mountain breezes and remote terrain of its birthplace.
It is the combination of high altitude air, soil composition and close proximity
to the sun’s rays that gives Altanuta Pinot Grigio its distinguished character
memorable flavor to be savored with food, yet light enough to be enjoyed as
an aperitif.
Altanuta. Truly the highest expression of Pinot Grigio.
