Enological and sensorial characterisation of the varietys Fraueler, Versoalen, Weissterlaner, Blatterle and Furner

Abstract

South Tyrol has always been a land of many different grape varieties. Many varieties have been cultivated over the years but also abandoned again. However, there is still a niche market in South Tyrol for old, historic local varieties, of which there is a remnant stock that is vinified as a single variety or in a blend. However, some of these varieties do not appear in any catalog of varieties. This project will be used to prepare a dossier for the varieties Fraueler, Versoalen, Weissterlaner, Blatterle and Furner in order to register them in the National Variety Catalog.
