| Vineyards | Our Cabernet “Select” grows in Branzollo, 10 km south of Bolzano. This 50- year-old vineyard, planted at his time by grandfather Hans, is composed of 50 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 50 % Cabernet Franc. This perhaps makes our “Select” a bit more difficult to understand than many of its brothers of the New World, but also very interesting and characteristic. |

Other curiosities
Cabernet is one of the most famous varieties in the world. In South Tyrol, it was introduced approximately 160 years ago, and our valley beds are very suitable for this variety.
The dark garnet colour, the fine aroma, with a slight hint of currants and wild wine, surrounded by a light vanilla taste acquired in a year in French barrique, the full and velvety body make this wine a taste experience not only for traditional Cabernet fans.
