La Contessa is a South Tyrolean white wine with soul and origin, produced from biodynamically farmed vineyards near Kaltern. Grown on loamy-sandy soils at an altitude of 300-400 metres, the cuvée of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc combines alpine freshness with southern charm. The 2024 vintage was characterised by a cool spring and a balanced ripening phase, which allowed for aromatic clarity and fine structure.

Fermented spontaneously and matured partly in wood and partly in stainless steel, the wine is complex and precise: delicately fruity notes of apple, citrus and lemon balm, accompanied by salty minerality and lively acidity. Finely balanced, dry and animating on the palate – an expressive, biodynamic white wine with cool elegance and a South Tyrolean signature. SUPERIORE.DE

"Its secret is finesse and elegance, almost noblesse. A white wine with a delicate colour and delicate aromas, perfect for festive occasions." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

"Brilliant golden yellow with lots of lustre. Inviting bouquet with notes of flowers, later crisp apple, yellow plum and light herbal spice. Straightforward on the palate with a green retronasal flavour, juicy and animated with grip. Harmonious final." Falstaff

"Three grapes tell one perfect mountain story here: where Pinot Bianco's alpine meadow freshness meets Chardonnay's golden apple core and Sauvignon's citrus lift. The palate brings that high-altitude harmony, letting wildflowers and crisp fruit play while racy acidity creates the kind of brightness that makes you feel like you're drinking straight from a mountain spring."
