The winery has been owned by our family for almost 200 years.
Our grandfather Josef Niedrist carried out the maturation and marketing of the wines with great efficiency. In the early 20s, however, both the political situation in our country and the operational situation on our farm changed abruptly. The province of South Tyrol had been annexed to Italy as a result of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) and our grandfather died young in 1922. Our grandmother Antonia managed to keep the business alive during the difficult times between the wars; She was forced to stop wine production.

viticulture
A lo que nos referimos con viticultura orgánica y heróica
Organic fertilizers are used
as compost, manure and
other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
The vineyards are located on extremely steep slopes. This requires greater effort and manual work due to the limited reach with machinery.
Getting to the vineyards can be complicated, requiring special roads and hand picking.
Lower yield of grapes per hectare. Although the grapes are of high quality due to sun exposure and the characteristics of the unique terroir.
