The Winegrowing Landscape Lives On
At the Riedingerhof, young winegrower Hansi Verdorfer is at the helm
Merano is not just a health resort city with a tradition dating back
centuries, but also one of the classic Alto Adige winegrowing areas.
Above all else on the more or less steep slopes around the cities,
grapes have been grown since time immemorial, finding their optimal
conditions here. In the district of Maia Alta, for instance, the scree cone from the Rio Val di Nova provides fertile soils with a rich skeleton, added to which the climate here seems almost Mediterranean. And the Riedingerhof in Merano thrives from all of this.
So
it is no wonder that as with so many farms in the Burgraviate, the
roots of the Riedingerhof are to be sought in fruitgrowing and
winegrowing, even if the farmhouse has developed more and more over the
years into a hospitality establishment. But with this development, the
Verdorfer family has not sacrificed their passion for winegrowing and
wine. Quite the contrary: It is the young winegrower Hansi Verdorferwho continues to live with it today, not just growing grapes on his own
vines, but also making his own top-quality estate-grown wines at the
Riedingerhof in Merano.
And when asked about his passion for
winegrowing and winemaking, he also says, “For me, the care of our
vineyards, the grape harvest in the autumn, the work in the winery, and
the weekly wine tasting with our guests are very special moments.” And
that is hardly astonishing. In the end, he can not only live out his
great passion, but also share it.
