Vintage 2020

Among the white wines, 2020 presents itself as an good vintage on average with very nice Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. The winemakers are very satisfied with the Pinot Noir and Lagrein. The Merlot and especially the Cabernet had to be harvested somewhat earlier than planned because of the weather conditions – with good but not surprisingly good qualities. The 2020 Schiava (Vernatsch) comes through as somewhat leaner than in previous years. At lower elevation locations, the 2020 harvest volumes were around five percent lower than in the previous year, and at the higher elevations, around ten percent lower. (Südtirol Wein)

Curiosity

The name "Ateyon" is a pure fantasy name; very melodic and meanwhile a synonym for our Parade white wine.

Food Pairing

Ideal for sumptuous starters, white meat, fish - even grilled! Sophisticated risotti are also perfect companions.
