Details of the location
The vineyards are located on a steep south-western slope at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and grow on sandy-loamy, weathered porphyry soil.
From grape to wine
Vinification starts with whole-cluster pressing, followed by 8 hours of maceration and natural must clarification. This is followed by slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 °C, followed by 6 months of ageing in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees.

The origin of this wine
Kerner is a relatively young grape variety, bred in Germany in 1929 from a cross between Trollinger and Riesling. It was named after the Swabian poet Justinus Kerner. In Alto Adige, Kerner has been cultivated since the 1970s, mainly in higher-altitude vineyards where it reveals its freshness, aromatic character, and clear structure.
