Curiosity

The Koran forbids any consumption of wine, only in paradise one dreams of it: "Resting on soft divans they look around them; full of joy they drink pure, well-sealed wine, the sentence of which is sheer musk;... a wine mixed with water from the spring Tasnim, where the lucky ones refresh themselves... and the black-eyed Huris, chaste as hidden pearls, are waiting for you as a reward for your deeds".

Food Pairing

Ideal with asparagus dishes, onion soup, grilled and fried fish, snails or simply as an aperitif!

Vintage 2024

Exceptional in vineyard and cellar - Lighter, elegant, modern wines following a challenging year in the vineyard. Fruity white wines with finesse and elegant, delicate red wines: Even if (or precisely because) the 2024 vintage presented the winegrowers in Alto Adige with plenty of challenges and in some places painfully depressed yields, expectations for the 2024 vintage are high. (Cons. Alto Adige Wine)
