Le vigneron
In 1999, Johanna and Kurt Rottensteiner transferred the family farm, which has been active for more than a century in the town of Bolzano, to the Mazzon plateau, known as a breeding ground for Pinot Noir in the Upper Adige. Assisted by their children Johan and Eva, they opted for organic viticulture and rehabilitated an old country cottage, now surrounded by their 2.6 hectares of vines. Attached to their land and to this life dictated by nature, they managed to raise their wines among the most qualitative in the region.
