Of Traditionalists and Rebels
New paths for classic Valle Isarco white wines
There is one thing – and only one thing – in which Manni Nössingof the Hoandlhof in Bressanone is a traditionalist: he grows classic
white wine varieties such as those that belong to the Valle Isarco.
Otherwise, he is accustomed to pursuing new paths with a small group of
like-minded winegrowers, of experimenting with new processes, and of
following new ideas. “We are the wine rebels in the Valle Isarco,” Nössing says with a smile.
In everything that he does, there is one goal on which he sets his
sites: making a wine with its very own character. And what does that
mean in concrete terms? “A wine has to taste good,” the winegrower says,
“and it has to taste good to me!” On the pathway to this wine, what
helps Nössing is his experience but also the insights that he has gained
on trips through the most important winegrowing regions of the world.
All of this has flowed since 2003 into the 5.5 hectares of vineyards and
the winery of the Hoandlhof, and all of that leads to individual wines
which from the very beginning onward have been cause for great
attention. One of Nössing’s first wines, his Kerner, already achieved a
distinction from the Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso. And the
Hoandlhof wines that followed the premiere also made quite an impression
on the experts: with fresh acidity, a strong mineral-rich quality, and
differentiated fruit.
In addition to the Kerner, Nössing’s assortment also includes Sylvaner,
Gewürztraminer, Veltliner, and Müller Thurgau. Nothing else. As has
been stated, with the selection of grape varieties, the rebel is a traditionalist.
