In the winery, it is necessary to safeguard the quality that has been brought in from the harvest and to further support it. This takes place, on one hand, by means of innovative winemaking technology and, on the other hand, through the winemaker’s experience and the intuitive sensitivity. The winemaker as both a midwife and a companion. And as a virtuosic composer.
The special quality feature of Alto Adige wines is their clearly emphasized primary fruit, be it the elder blossom tones of the Sauvignon Blanc, the rose scent of the Gewürztraminer, or the wild berry aroma of the Lagrein.
The broad palette on offer ranges from pleasantly fresh and light varietals to single vineyard wines of great character to select concentrated wines with corresponding potential for aging.
Today, top-quality Alto Adige wines mature for the most part in small casks made primarily from French oak (barriques). And large wooden barrels are also once again being increasingly used. The fact that Alto Adige’s producers have been successful in making wines that are accepted throughout the world at the international level is confirmed by the many top ratings in the leading wine guides.
