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.

What we mean by conventional and mountain viticulture
Synthetic pesticides and herbicides are used to control pests and weeds. These chemicals can contribute to tighter disease control and ensure plant health.
It tends to focus on maximizing yields and grape production. This may involve practices such as intensive pruning, mechanical harvesting, and vine selection that maximizes the number of grapes harvested per hectare.
Oenological additives, such as selected yeasts, enzymes and fining agents, can be used to standardize the winemaking process and improve the clarity and stability of the wine.
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.
