Müller-Thurgau is a white grape varietal created in 1882 from a cross between Riesling Renano and Madeleine Royale, by Swiss researcher Hermann Müller, originally from the canton of Thurgau. Within a few decades, it conquered wine regions throughout Europe, finding its most famous expression in Italy in the valleys of Trentino-Alto Adige and Alto Adige/Südtirol, but also in mountain and hill areas of Veneto and Oltrepò Pavese.

Müller-Thurgau produces fresh, delicate, and immediate wines, perfect for drinking young. On the nose, it expresses floral and fruity aromas, with hints of white flowers, green apple, peach, and light musky and herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is agile, harmonious, and easy to drink, with lively acidity and a pleasant minerality that makes it extremely versatile.

There are also more structured versions, obtained from high-altitude vineyards or particular vinification methods, which can surprise with their complexity and elegance.

Ideal as an aperitif, Müller-Thurgau pairs well with light dishes, fish, fresh cheeses, and vegetables, embodying the spirit of mountain wines: simple, immediate, and authentic.
