Curiosity

The Koran forbids any consumption of wine, only in paradise one dreams of it: "Resting on soft divans they look around them; full of joy they drink pure, well-sealed wine, the sentence of which is sheer musk;... a wine mixed with water from the spring Tasnim, where the lucky ones refresh themselves... and the black-eyed Huris, chaste as hidden pearls, are waiting for you as a reward for your deeds".

Food Pairing

Ideal with asparagus dishes, onion soup, grilled and fried fish, snails or simply as an aperitif!

Vintage 2018

Satisfied with Quality and Quantity The 2018 wine harvest began early in Alto Adige, with lower elevations starting to pick as early as August 20. And toward the end of September, most of the grapes were already in the wineries – well matured and in reasonable numbers. With the white wines, Alto Adige’s winegrowers and winemakers are without exception very satisfied. With the red wines, 2018 will be a great year for Cabernet and Merlot, but also for Pinot Noir and Lagrein. (Südtirol Wein)
