Curiosity

The county of Bolzano was divided in 1090. The eastern half fell to the Counts of "Morit" and included the territory of today's municipalities of Gargazon, Terlan, Bolzano, Leifers, Ritten etc. The Counts of Morit left their castle Morit and built the castle Greifenstein (Sauschloss) above Siebeneich. Since ancient times the Rhaetian and later the Tyrolean wine was highly appreciated by the Romans and in the German speaking countries.

Food Pairing

Ideal with South Tyrolean Speck, cheese and grilled fish. Because of its seductive lightness it's also perfect as a solo entertainer!

Vintage 2022

Great reds and astonishing whites - A hot summer yields a “gigantic red wine vintage” and extraordinary whites. The wine experts of Alto Adige agree: 2022 will be a great vintage for full-bodied red wines in particular, which benefited from the exceptionally high temperatures last summer. But white wines, too, are doing surprisingly well in all areas of cultivation, turning out unusually powerful but still fresh and fruity. (Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
