The wine

A rich yet lively Pinot Grigio with an aromatic bouquet of melon and peach, complemented by delicate spice and refreshing mineral tones. Porer shows what Pinot Grigio can do when it is taken seriously.

Porer is where Pinot Grigio is taken seriously. A portion is fermented on its skins, which is unusual for the variety and draws out the copper tinge and phenolic grip its pink skins can give, and part of the wine ages in large oak casks. The result has weight, spice and texture, and bears little resemblance to everyday Pinot Grigio.

The producer

Alois Lageder

View all Alois Lageder wines

Six generations of one family. Johann Lageder laid the foundation stone in 1823, trading wine alongside his work as a wagon maker, and his successors bought vineyards and began making the wine themselves. In 1934 the family acquired the Löwengang estate at Magrè, still the headquarters today.

From the 1990s Alois Lageder set out to reach a level of quality that was pioneering not only for the winery but for Alto Adige as a whole, and the estate has been the reference point for biodynamic farming in northern Italy ever since. Biodynamics goes beyond organic practice, treating the farm as a single organism and following a calendar of preparations and lunar timings; whatever one makes of the philosophy, the viticulture it demands is unusually attentive.

Alto Adige is Italy's most northerly wine region, German-speaking, and the vineyards climb the slopes above the Adige valley from around 200 metres to well over 800. That range of altitude in a small area is what lets a single estate make convincing Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Lagrein, each planted where it belongs rather than where it is convenient.
