Pfannenstielhof | South Tyrol
As early as 1561, the Pfannenstielhof was described as a farm with its own torggl, a wine press, and is now run as a family business in the seventh generation. It is located in the valley bottom on the eastern edge of Bolzano amidst the vineyards. The Pfannenstielhof is a pure red wine farm with the two characteristic wines St. Magdalener and Lagrein. The Pfeifer family practices natural, integrated viticulture. This involves careful manual labor, whether it is winter pruning, defoliation, yield reduction or harvesting the grapes. The Pfeifers see it as their mission to capture the uniqueness of the soils in the wine and to produce quality wines that are typical of the site and the variety and that impress with their authenticity and individuality. - Gerardo [TS08/22]
"Johannes Pfeifer is a winemaker in the true sense of the word. Four hectares of land in the heart of the Lagrein growth zone he works and presses from the fruit real wine caliber of precisely delineated style. At the end of the year, almost 40,000 bottles are produced, all of them excellently crafted reds, first and foremost the Sankt Magdalener, which the Pfannenstielhof has under control like no other. But also the Lagrein and, as the latest creation, the Blauburgunder are exceptionally typical and anything but banal drops." - Gambero Rosso
"Very few producers can hold a candle to the Pfannenstielhof farmer. What he has brought in recent years to St. Magdalener and Lagrein on the bottle, is impressive." - Dr. Jens Priewe

The St. Magdalener from Pfannenstielhof is a well-balanced wine that combines freshness and fruitiness with a fine complexity. Despite its approachable nature, it displays a juicy fullness paired with a subtle spiciness and full-bodied character. It embodies the perfect balance between tradition and modernity and is appreciated as a local specialty as well as a versatile accompaniment to various dishes.
This light yet expressive red wine thrives on the classic, well-ventilated moraine debris soils of the St. Magdalener growing area, which consist of porphyry and dolomite rock and retain heat optimally. The Vernatsch grapes grow together with around 5% Lagrein in a mixed set under pergolas in accordance with traditional South Tyrolean winegrowing methods and are harvested and fermented together, which gives the wine its special harmony and depth. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
"However, the largest part of Pfeifer's four hectares, located directly on the farm, is planted with Vernatsch. It grows quite traditionally on the Pergel and is aged together with 5% Lagrein - in large wooden barrels. Its color: sparkling ruby red. Its aroma: cherry, fruity. The taste: juicy, powerful. In short: the prime example of a St. Magdalener classico." - Dr. Jens Priewe "Rich sparkling ruby red with a shimmering core. Pronounced clear scent of fresh cherries, plus rosehip and fresh cloves. Stretches out nicely, showing finesse, with very well-integrated tannin, lively acidity and spicy, fruity finish, lovely expression." - Falstaff "Brilliant ruby red, The aromas are delicate and of red fruits and spices. The palate is soft, tasty, persistent and pleasant to drink. As always." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

The Pfannenstielhof's Lagrein “Vom Boden” is a tribute to the valuable soils on which this grape variety thrives. The terroir, characterized by deep, warm sand and gravel soils that have been washed up by the Eisack over centuries, gives this Lagrein its special elegance and finesse. In the glass, the wine is fruity, rich and powerful, yet at the same time has a fine structure and density. The soft, velvety tannins underline the full-bodied and supple character that unfolds harmoniously on the palate.
The Pfannenstielhof, first mentioned in a document in 1561 and owned by the Pfeifer family for over 200 years, stands for a long tradition and outstanding wine quality. The Lagrein “Vom Boden” is a worthy expression of these many years of experience and the close connection with the terroir, which unmistakably shapes the wine and significantly influences its velvety-soft character.
- Gerardo [TS10/23]
"However, it is now not only St. Magdalener that Pfeifer produces. On the gently sloping southern slopes around the farm, he has also increasingly grown Lagrein. On the warm, sandy alluvial soils, this variety finds ideal growing conditions. The basic Lagrein is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged for six to eight months in medium-sized wooden barrels. It is dark ruby red in color and captivates with immense fruitiness, without the bitter notes otherwise so often found in Lagrein." - Dr. Jens Priewe "Clear bright cherry red with ruby reflections and bright red rim. Fruit-driven, open-hearted after blueberries, plums and blackberry jam, besides slightly spicy after tea leaves. Stretches animatedly on the palate with velvety tannin and gentle pressure, medium weight, juicy acidity and coherent finish." - Falstaff

The St. Magdalener “Annver” is a special tribute to the daughters of the winery, Anna and Veronika, and embodies the perfect balance of finesse, elegance and tension. The fresh, intense fruit combines harmoniously with floral aromas and a fine spiciness. On the palate, the wine impresses with an elegant harmony between the pronounced fruitiness, mild, invigorating acidity and silky tannins. This balanced complexity leads to a soft, long finish with a multi-layered aftertaste that underlines the structure and depth of this exceptional wine. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
"ANNVER is proof for me that St. Magdalener has refinement, longevity and potential." - Johannes Pfeifer
"The St. Magdalener 'Annver' is of a quality that one would not have believed of the Vernatsch grape even ten years ago. Pfeifer has helped the underrated grape variety reach new heights." - Der Feinschmecker
"Bright, radiant ruby red. Fragrant nose, of ripe cherries, plus hints of cinnamon and dried flowers. On the palate polished and fine, with great creaminess on the tongue, showing structure and traction, noble bitter finish." - Falstaff

The Lagrein Riserva develops on the deep, warm and well-aerated alluvial soils of the Eisack, which offer ideal growing conditions due to their high gravel content. These special soils produce a Lagrein of impressive intensity, which is characterized by its fruity richness and dense structure. Velvety-soft tannins and a distinct varietal character give this wine a unique balance of power and elegance.
After careful manual harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed. Maceration takes place at a controlled temperature over a period of around 12 days, with the cap gently pushed underneath to promote contact between the mash and must. This enables optimal extraction of colorants, aromas and extracts. The young wine is then transferred to small oak barrels, where it matures for around 24 months, gaining depth, complexity and finesse. - Gerardo [TS10/22]
"...The Riserva comes from 50-year-old vines still growing on the pergola. It is aged for 24 months in barriques or tonneaux and presents a just inky dark color. Similarly lush on the nose with notes of blackberries, cherries and toasty aromas, it impresses with ripe, sweet tannins and great depth of flavor." - Dr. Jens Priewe "Bright, impenetrable purple with a deep dark core. Comes on the nose with spicy vegetal notes of thyme, juniper and dark wild berries, mocha in the background. Stretches out finely on the palate with nice fruit melt and balanced body, shows good tension with fresh acidity that carries through to the finish, good drinking flow." - Falstaff "Dark garnet red. The aromas are complex, ink, graphite and Maraska cherry. The palate is fat, spicy and with dense and ripe tannins, but with a fresh acidity and a tangy and juicy finish." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)
