Pan-fried trout
Mountain trout and Sylvaner's peach-and-mineral register share a clear-water palate. -

History
The Aristos line was launched as Cantina Valle Isarco's premium tier, with Sylvaner as its anchor. Sylvaner is the historic varietal of the Eisacktal, planted along the steep slopes around Kloster Saeben (Sabiona) where mineral-rich quartz-phyllite soils give the wine its characteristic structure.
