Growing Conditions

The grapes for the cuvée MABON are cultivated in a natural way with great diligence, passion and love. The vineyards are located on the south-exposed vineyard sites of the wine village S. Maddalena near Bolzano at an altitude of about 300 m above sea level and have a gravelly moraine soil. The vine stocks are grown according to the traditional South Tyrolean pergola-system and the guyot-system. Due to the situation on the steep slopes a high amount of manual labour is needed.

Winemaking

The grapes are crushed and fermented in steel tanks. After a storing period of two years in small oak barrels the wine is finally bottled.

Aging

In October the grapes are manually harvested.
