TERRITORY OF ORIGIN:

TERROR

The area is Alto Adige, a lot suited 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 soils. The native lagrein, for example, prefers warm gravelly or sandy soils, while the gewürztraminer expresses its best on clayey and very calcareous soils. The stony soils of dolomitic limestone are unique, especially widespread in the southern reaches 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 ideal above all for producing full-bodied white wines with a strong flavour.

CELLAR

We are in South Tyrol.

the Stachlburg Winery was founded in 1990 by Sigmund Kripp, still located today at an altitude of 650 meters in the municipality of Partschins.

After completing his studies in Germany, Sigmund decided to take over the family lands, starting the cultivation of the first Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards.

The ideal conditions for the cultivation of these varieties are offered by the warm and sunny slopes, the mild air and the dry climate of the Val Venosta.

The company cultivates just 8 hectares of vineyards, all certified organic.
