Position and land “der Keil” vineyard at 250 m asl, with southern exposure and lake view, among the warmest vineyards in South Tyrol. The centuries-old vines root in calcareous, clayey-sandy soil. The training system is the traditional pergola system. Vintage 2021 was a relatively late year. The harvest began on 13 September with the Sauvignon Blanc in Lieben Aich and ended on 20 October with the Cabernet Sauvignon in Manincor. The ripening period, in particular, was characterized by an almost perfect weather, with sunny days and clear nights in which it cooled down properly. So 2021 is all about balance. Physiological maturity, sugar maturity and acidity are in optimal balance. Ripe fruit, fresh character and moderate alcohol characterize the vintage. Mid September we were able to harvest all our Schiava varieties at the best time. The average yield was 58 hl.

Vinification The fermentation took place in wooden vats, spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. During the five months of refinement in oak barrels and in contact with the yeasts both aroma and taste are refined. Bottling 23,000 bottles
