Falkenstein
The Falkenstein winery is located on the Rocca del Falco, which dominates Naturno from above, in the province of Bolzano. In this area, characterized by a difficult and harsh climate and considerable slopes, Bernadette and Franz Pratzner cultivate vineyards with great love and respect for the land and create wines that are a great expression of the South Tyrolean territory. In a few years of activity, Falkenstein has been able to distinguish itself on the Italian scene for the production of wines of great finesse, elegant and pleasant minerality. All the bottles in the cellar are equipped with screw caps, to meet the wishes of the owners who want their wines to be always clean and correct.
Südtirol - Alto Adige Val Venosta DOC Riesling 2023 Falkenstein
It looks like one of the flagships of the South Tyrolean Falkenstein company, set in the beautiful Val Venosta. Here, viticulture has its roots in mineral soils and rests on dry stone walls that chisel the slopes.
The Riesling grapes are harvested from vineyards spread over 6 hectares of surface. The alcoholic fermentation of the must takes place in acacia wood barrels, as well as the aging, which lasts 10 months. A final period of 12 months in the bottle completes the maturation.
