Müller Thurgau is a vine obtained by the clonal crossbreeding of Riesling and Silvaner to adapt to the cool climates of the north. Thanks to its characteristics of particular vigour and precocious ripening it is generally found throughout Central Europe. In the Aosta Valley it was introduced after 1946. The climate, characterized by thermal changes in particular during the maturation period, favours the formation of the elegant bouquet which distinguishes this wine.
