Respect for Nature and No Hocus Pocus
At the Brunnenhof in Mazzon, a velvety-smooth organic Pinot Noir is created
“Five hectares, respect for nature, and no hocus pocus.” The philosophy
of an estate winery cannot be described more briefly – or more
accurately – than Kurt Rottensteiner does for his Brunnenhof in Egna. A philosophy that is also supported by the fact that the Brunnenhof is situated in Mazzon, one of Alto Adige’s best Pinot Noir areas.
Nature has therefore meant well for the vineyards of the Brunnenhof in
Egna-Mazzon, for which the Rottensteiner family is grateful: since 2011,
they have been running their estate winery according to ecological
guidelines, and it is organic certified. “Our vineyards need to stay
lively,” Kurt Rottensteiner says, since “The more vitality and fullness
in the vineyards, the more will later on be in the wine.”
That holds true without making sacrifices for all of the locations and
varieties at the Brunnenhof. Manzoni Bianco grapes have been thriving
on the scree cone of the Rio Trodena and, since 1921, Lagrein vines!
Added to these are Gewürztraminer, and Yellow Muscat, but above all else
Pinot Noir. “The sandy loam soils, the wind exposure, the midday sun,
the Ora wind from Lake Garda, and the cool nights: all of these are the
perfect conditions,” explains Rottensteiner.
And the winegrower also abstains from hocus pocus above all else in the
winery. In the vaulted cellars of the Brunnenhof that stay pleasantly
cool in the summer, white and red wines mature, whereby the latter are
without any small oak casks. “We don’t want the tannin and the vanilla
flavor of wood, but rather more of the wine’s own tannins and its own fruit,” says Rottensteiner, aiming for wines that tell their own story. Without, in fact, any hocus pocus.
