The Story Behind the Wine: The Palai Müller-Thurgau from Pojer e Sandri is produced from vineyards located in the Palai area of Trentino-Alto Adige. Situated at elevations of 550-750 meters, these vineyards benefit from the cool, ventilated air of the Ora wind from Lake Garda, which helps maintain the freshness and acidity of the grapes. The soils in this region are rich in limestone and dolomite, further enhancing the wine’s characteristic minerality.

Pojer e Sandri, founded in 1975 by Fiorentino Sandri and Mario Pojer, has become a benchmark for innovation in Trentino winemaking. The winery’s commitment to preserving the aromatic qualities of the Müller-Thurgau grape is evident in the 2020 vintage, where the grapes are processed using hyper-reduction techniques to maintain the purity and freshness of the fruit​.
