'Selezione' wines

The more straight-forward white varietal wines of the 'selezione range' which are at their best when expressing the pure character of the grape are partially fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and partially in traditional oak casks, while the reds are matured in a mixture of traditional oak casks and to some extent in barriques. These comprise our basic range of varietal wines which are grown in single vineyards including Reitwies, Klughammer, Wadleith, Plon and Rechtenthal.


 
he Wines Castel Ringberg and Kastelaz boast some of Alto Adige’s most highly revered sites. The former facing south-east and Kastelaz which faces due south. In the south of Alto Adige the climate is uniquely mild considering that this is Italy’s northernmost wine-growing area, a factor which we exploit by planting vines which yield fragrant white wines in higher sites, while my full-bodied reds including the award-winning Cabernet come from the warm, lower slopes.
