ORIGIN

TERROIR

The area is Alto Adige, very suitable for the production of white and red wines.

The vineyards are located at an altitude between 200 and 1000 meters and the vines grow on very different terrains. The autochthonous lagrein, for example, prefers warm gravelly or sandy soils, while gewürztraminer expresses its best on clayey and very calcareous soils. The stony soils of dolomitic limestone are unique, widespread above all in the southern offshoots of the Wine Route and which originate from the Dolomites, a UNESCO heritage site. Thanks to their mineral characteristics, these warm and very permeable soils are especially ideal for producing full-bodied white wines with a strong taste.

WINERY

Kobler is set in Alto Adige region; the vineyards are cultivated at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level, on soils of various compositions, with a prevalence of calcareous or sandy-silty components. Armin and Monika Kobler have been making wine from their grapes since 2006, even if the history of the winery is older.

The soils closest to the town of Magrè are clayey-limestone with a lot of skeleton, the more distant ones are alluvial and deep. They cultivate just 5 hectares of vineyards, for a very small production of 15,000 bottles a year.

Over the years they have added vineyards such as the Klausner, planted with new cuttings of pinot gris, merlot and carmenère; and then again the Kotzner vineyard, where the existing Schiava vines were over-grafted with Merlot in the 1990s. In other vineyards they cultivate cabernet franc, pinot gris, gewürztraminer. Great care is dedicated to the work in the vineyard: integrated pest management is used to protect the plants, minimizing treatments in the vineyard and intervention in the cellar.

The harvest is manual, with a careful selection of the best bunches.
