The spectacular steep slope of Römigberg rises high above Lake Kaltern – a location that comes particularly close to the ideal of a closed farm organisation. Here, oxen graze between the vines and the traditional pergola training protects the thin-skinned Vernatsch grapes from intense sunlight. On gravel-rich dolomite limestone between 250 and 330 metres, a Vernatsch of exceptional finesse is produced under biodynamic Demeter cultivation. The spontaneous mash fermentation in wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks, partly on whole grapes, gives this autochthonous South Tyrolean classic a special complexity. Ruby red in colour with purple reflections, it has subtle aromas of red berries and violets. Elegant and balanced on the palate, with silky tannins and lively freshness – a versatile classic for every occasion. SUPERIORE.DE

"From the Lageder family's 8-hectare Römigberg vineyard above Lake Kaltern, where the Schiava grapes are cultivated biodynamically using the pergola method. Fermentation takes place partly in large wooden barrels, partly in stainless steel and with prolonged skin contact. The wine has a bright, garnet red colour, a rosy and smoky bouquet with notes of pomegranate and cranberries, overlaid with intense, spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, it is juicy, ripe and supple, yet firm and balanced with a beautiful acidity that finishes with notes of plum and wood smoke. Delicious." Decanter
