Muller Thurgau

Müller-Thurgau is a white grape variety originating from Geisenheim in Germany and used to produce wine mainly in Germany, Hungary, Austria and Italy. The grape variety was created at the end of the 19th century by crossing Rhine Riesling and Madeleine Royale (before DNA research it was thought to be between Riesling and Sylvaner), by the Swiss winemaker Hermann Müller, hence the name Thurgau . Its let's call it 'defect' was the lack of a suitable habitat. But luckily someone planted it in Trentino Alto Adige, in the Cembra Valley and so the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. In this ancient valley, sheltered by mountains and woods, its characteristics of sober elegance find a natural cradle. The calcareous soils, the altitude and the strong temperature range favor the development of aromas and freshness, transforming a modest grape variety like Müller Thurgau into a protagonist of the table.
