The bunches, after the harvest strictly manual, they are de-stemmed and the berries are lightly pressed, separating the residues from the must through precipitation.

For five generations our family has cultivated its vineyards on both sides of the Adige valley.

We combine tradition, pioneering spirit, respect for nature and innovation. We love what we do: we live the wine. The different terroirs and the different microclimates determine the character of our wines. For five generations we have been cultivating each grape variety where it can express itself at its best. Our owned vineyards extend on both sides of the Adige valley and at the end of the Ronchi Valley in Trentino. Since 2014, we have been producing our Rieslings in Moselle, the wine-growing area of Germany most suited to this noble variety in the world. Our vines have their roots on plateaus and hills at altitudes ranging between 250 and 850 meters. Depending on the slope on which they are located, the rows are reached by fresh mountain breezes or warm southern winds, by the morning or evening sun. Ours was the first South Tyrolean company to put the vineyard on the label, identifying the wines that come from individual vineyards, in the most suitable particles.e.
