Vintage 2023
Great challenges, great wines - challenging weather brings out powerful reds and fruity whites. The 2023 vintage seems to corroborate one of Alto Adige’s wine legends: years of great challenges are years of great wines. Out in the vineyards, 2023 was a year of major challenges, but winemakers expect strong reds with rich fruit flavors and intense colors as well as fresh and even fruitier whites than past vintages.(Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
