About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from a small 3 ha vineyard in the village of St. Magdalena in Bolzano. The vineyard occupies sunny, steep, south-facing slopes with sandy soil.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented on their skins at 28–30 °C for 10–14 days.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless steel tanks for 6–8 months.

Label / history

A Tibetan-style tower stands at the centre of the vineyard and is depicted on the label.
