To our knowledge, this niche product is also the first natural wine from South Tyrol, dismissed years ago as a crank, but today it is impossible to imagine the sparkling wine scene without it. - Gerardo [TS12/22]

Monticol · Blauburgunder Riserva DOC 2020

The bright ruby red color of this Pinot Noir is an eye-catcher. Its aroma is extremely multifaceted, with delicate fruit aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries and cherries as well as a subtle hint of noble spices and flint. On the palate, this red wine impresses with a well-balanced structure and, above all, a slight mineral elegance that creates pressure. It also leaves a long and exciting aftertaste that completes the enjoyment. - Gerardo [TS03/21]

"This noble Pinot Noir thrives in medium-high vineyards at 500 - 600 m above sea level, where downdraughts ensure cooling even at the height of summer. Cultivated here since the middle of the 19th century, the older vineyards in particular produce a well-structured and above all elegant Pinot Noir." - Rudi Kofler

"Bright, radiant ruby red. Shows fragrant and inviting on the nose, of rich raspberries and wild berries, slightly fleshy reverberation, noble wood. On the palate juicy and with clear fruit, spreads polished over the tongue, with salt and elegant aftertaste." - Falstaff

Nussbaumer · Gewürztraminer DOC 2022

Only a few Gewürztraminers can compete with those from Alsace - and those that can are all from South Tyrol: The Gewürztraminer 'Nussbaumer' is a bright intense golden yellow in the glass. To the nose, this rich white wine reveals a kaleidoscope of scents reminiscent of rose petals, ylang ylang, ripe yellow exotic fruits, honeydew melon and mango. This spectrum is accompanied by notes of dried herbs, ginger, saffron, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Of deep aromatics, full-bodied and extracted but with fine spicy juiciness and salty minerality. Continues to gain complexity as it matures. Without exaggeration the best Gewürztraminer in South Tyrol. - Gerardo [TS12/23]

"Sparkling, bright golden yellow with light green nuances. Very intense and present nose, rich of yellow roses, lychees, some bergamot, behind it lots of cloves, very inviting. Turns a magnificent wheel on the palate, again lots of tropical fruit, lychee and papaya dominate, lush of roses and cloves, very long finish, a classic!" - Falstaff
"Brilliant yellow. The aromatic range is impressive: exotic fruits, spices and white flowers. The palate is powerful but at the same time fine and juicy. Long and varied finish." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

"Quite a fine, somewhat nutty, floral and herbaceous-vegetable citrus nose with pomaceous and stone fruit notes, a hint of lychee, some yellow spice and orange zest. Ripe, juicy, tightly knit fruit with yellow spice, nutty aromas and floral tones, very fine acidity and a certain sweetness, power and melting on the palate, but also bite, fine vegetal notes, a hint of caramel, moderate grip, persistent, restrained power, certain depth, quite complex, a hint of vanilla and smoke, very good, firm, juicy and spicy finish." - Wein-Plus.eu

Frauenhügel · Lagrein Riserva DOC 2021

Lagrein is the oldest autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. It thrives best on the deep, warm soils of Bolzano (Gries) and Unterlandl (Kurtatsch), which are formed from loamy-sandy deposits of rivers and streams. The 'Frauenhügel' parcel is a very warm site directly above the wine road northwest of the village of Kurtatsch. There the Lagrein reaches its optimal maturity and can bring out its full potential.

The 'Frauenhügel' has a seductive fruitiness of wild berries, elderberries, black cherries and cocoa beans. The wine accumulates balsamic tannins during aging in barrique barrels. During the subsequent aging in large wooden barrels, the noble roasted substances and the vital acidity enter into a harmonious union with the powerful fruit body. The best Lagrein is said to show not only concentration and length on the finish, but also an individual earthy note. The clayey soil is responsible for its typical site characteristics, which lend a piquant spiciness to the long, deliciously fruity finish. - Gerardo [TS07/22]

It presents a garnet to dark garnet red color, and its aroma is reminiscent of tart aromas of wild cherry, black currant, dried fruit, chocolate and cedar. Its full-bodied taste can be perfectly combined with roasts, dishes of game and spicy mature cheeses. - Gerardo [TS12/21]

"What a dense, dark fruit on the nose, fine spice and notes of dark chocolate add to the complexity. On the palate, juicy, elegant and with exceedingly fine-grained tannins, dense and sturdy." - Vinum Schweiz

"Dark luminous garnet with cherry red rim. Fine fruit of ripe plums, blackberry jelly, some mint and rock candy, in the background a slight wood spice. Shows up in a rich robe with grippy, well-integrated tannin, lots of substance and pithy structure, presses again on the palate in the finish and shows character, good potential." - Falstaff
