The renovated Tiefenbrunner winery

Tiefenbrunner Winery has dedicated itself to quality in all its wines, producing wines typical of the grape and the vineyard. Christophe Tiefenbrunner began in 1991 and has significantly modernized the vineyards and perfected the winemaking process. The wines are sourced from grapes grown in twenty hectares of their own vineyards and from grapes from other producers. The emphasis is primarily on white wine, at seventy percent. The remainder is red. This is quite unusual for the Alto Adige region, where most winemakers emphasize red wine production. White, however, remains an excellent choice for the future. Moreover, the mountain slopes are very suitable for growing white grapes. Pinot Noir grapes aren't the easiest to cultivate. They pose a significant challenge for all winemakers, regardless of their location. The grapes are harvested in late August and early September to preserve the wine's freshness and acidity. The Pinot Noir is grown in a relatively warm vineyard, right by the estate. It undergoes a short, rapid fermentation to preserve all the fruit. This results in an elegant, almost Burgundian Pinot, aged exclusively in used barriques.
