About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Vigna Castel Rechtenthal is a precisely delimited single vineyard in Tramin-Söll, on a gravelly hill above Rechtenthal Castle at the foot of Monte Roen. The site lies at 350–410 m, faces south and east, and reaches gradients of 60%. It occupies an ancient dolomitic alluvial cone shaped by glaciers around 32,000 years ago. Its dry, freely draining gravel-and-sand soils include limestone-rich marine sediments. Cool air descending along the Höllentalbach stream further shapes the site. These conditions moderate vine growth and slow its physiology, supporting freshness and acidity.
