Stabilità nel cambiamento
The article presents the estate’s long history as an incentive to keep changing rather than a constraint. Its emerging specialization centres on Sylvaner, Kerner and Riesling, with Sylvaner—grown in Valle Isarco for about 150 years and long prominent in the cellar records—assigned a larger future role. Climate change has reversed the historic problem of insufficient ripeness: excessive sun, rapid sugar accumulation and earlier harvests now demand protective canopy management and vineyard-by-vineyard maturity monitoring. Adaptation includes higher sites, different varieties in lower vineyards and experiments with Gewürztraminer, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Nero. The guiding principle is to unite innovation with the preservation of the estate’s established identity.
