Description
History
Pojer e Sandri is a Trentino winery founded in 1975 by Fiorentino Sandri and Mario Pojer. Born by chance, it immediately achieved success with its first wine, the Palai Müller Thurgau 1975. Despite the difficulties of the territory, the founders focused on heroic viticulture, gaining experience and innovation from visits to other wineries. Currently, Pojer e Sandri owns about 30 hectares of vineyards distributed in six municipalities, benefiting from the breeze of the Ora del Garda. The main vineyards are located in the Val di Cembra, of volcanic origin, and in Faedo and San Michele, with sedimentary and calcareous soils. The company grows different varieties of grapes, from the most traditional to the most resistant, and the winery is a place of continuous experimentation, with unique labels inspired by Albrecht Dürer.

Production method
The grapes are harvested in 100 kg crates and cooled in a cold room. The next day, the grapes are washed and dried. Pressing takes place in a controlled environment. Fermentation takes place in small wooden barrels on wheels; once completed, every week, thanks to the hourglass technique, the barrels are rotated 180° to maximize contact between yeast and wine. In spring, the cuvée is made: 50% wine from the latest harvest, 50% reserve wines from previous years. A good part of the latter comes from the disgorging of old vintages of 15-20 years. This base portion will be bottled and fermented for the third time. After resting on the lees for 2 years, disgorging takes place without adding sugar.
