Four Hundred Years of Winegrowing Tradition
A small winegrowing village, but an estate with deep roots
For nearly four hundred years, grapes have been grown at the Prackfolerhofin Aica di Fiè. That is all the more remarkable when you think that no
one would connect either Fiè allo Sciliar or Aica di Fiè with
grapevines or wine. At least, not right away...
...And that is
completely reasonable, since even at the Prackfolerhof in Aica di Fiè,
what is needed is time, lots of time, to get to wine here. The farm was
first mentioned in a document in 1429, and “only” around two hundred
years later, and thus starting from the seventeenth century, were grapes
planted here and wine made.
And that is no accident. In
contrast to the heart of the village of Fiè, the area of Aica di Fiè is
located at around 600 meters above sea level on a sun-drenched slope on
which high temperatures are reached during the day through the
vegetation period, while thanks to the elevation, it cools down
comparatively sharply at night. “These temperature differentials along
with the moraine soils over the volcanic Bolzano quartz-porphyry base offer the best conditions for winegrowing and high-quality wines,” Patrick Planer explains.
He
holds responsibility for the wine, and that means: from the vines to
the glass, every step is taken at the Prackfolerhof in Aica di Fiè
solely and independently along the path to fresh, elegant, mineral-rich
wines. Bound by tradition. And committed to it.
