An Estate Winery in the City
No compromise: organic winegrowing with indigenous varieties
An estate winery in the midst of the city? The Nusserhof is precisely
that. Its areas of cultivation lie in Piani di Bolzano and in Costa di
Sotto. Heinrich Mayr and his daughter Gloria work here under strict procedures, which in plain language means: only with indigenous grape varieties and organically certified since 1994.
Just
the father-daughter team already shows that the Nusserhof is a pure
family-run operation. Heinrich and Gloria function as agronomists,
oenologists, sales force, and office managers at the same time. That is
also possible because with four hectares, the grape growing areas of
the Nusserhof are manageable.
The head boss Heinrich Mayr
speaks of “harmonious vineyards” and of “warm, airy soils” on the Isarco
River on which he grows exclusively indigenous grape varieties:
Blatterle, Lagrein, Schiava, and Teroldego. when asked
about his goals for the estate winery, Mayr responds, “Our goal is to
completely exhaust their potential and to increase even further the
quality of our wines through adapted cultivation and winemaking
methods.” So already today, the bar has been set high. Thus the Mayrs
place great value upon the highest quality of the grapes, low yields,
and a long aging of the wines in barrel and bottle. The result is
structured, mineral-rich, elegant, lasting wines that are not heavy with
a moderate alcohol content – “very personal wines,” as Mayr says.
And by the way: the Nusserhof is the home farm of the beatified resistance figure, Josef Mayr-Nusser.
