Curiosity
At the corral Formigar, where prince Tocol once celebrated parties, where the wine warmed up the hearts of his guests, the harpist Lareyn was playing songs of the mountains and of the dark myths from earlier times, which belongs to the empire of the silver mountains, to the tables of heroes of Ey de Nét, Men de Fiér and Dolasilla. (Extract from the book of Hubert Mumelter “Wine from Rätien”).
Food Pairing
Best with venison, roasts, dark meat or hard cheese.
Vintage 2019
Lively, Fresh Wines Filled with Character After a capricious winegrowing year with some extreme weather conditions, the ideal autumn weather before the beginning of harvesting led to a good harvest with some promising quality. (Südtirol Wein)
