Territory and wine style

The origin of the Riesling Berg 2022 Alto Adige DOC Niedrist tells much about its character. The “Untersteiner” vineyard, located 600 meters above sea level at the foot of the Mendola, benefits from a cool environment and clayey, gravelly soils with a dominant presence of dolomite. These conditions, combined with the Guyot training system and limited yield, contribute to defining a wine with a tense, precise, and vertical profile. Vinification in steel and the absence of malolactic fermentation preserve freshness, aromatic integrity, and a pleasant mineral definition.
