"la Contessa"

Pinot Blanc 55 %, Chardonnay 28 %, Sauvignon
Blanc 17 % (Terlaner DOC)

Two-thirds of the grapes come from the “Lieben Aich” site at Terlan and one third from the “Campan” vineyard at Kaltern. Our Lieben Aich vineyard at Terlan is on a warm, west-facing slope at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level where the soil is well-drained consisting of sand with a bedrock of eroded porphyry. Kaltern Campan is a cool, east-facing mountainside site at an altitude of 500 m above sea level where the soils are rich with clay and morainal deposits.

The 2025 vintage began with early bud break and a warm spring, with flowering already taking place in mid-May. July and August brought plenty of sunshine and moderate rainfall – ideal conditions for healthy, vibrant grapes and promising ripening. By the end of August, everything pointed towards an exceptional vintage. Rain periods in September brought additional challenges, but thanks to precise vineyard work, experience and careful hand harvesting, we were able to bring in grapes of excellent quality. The wines show freshness, balance and expression, reflecting once again the diversity and strength of our vineyards – a vintage full of character, elegance and depth.
From early September through late September,
we were able to harvest our grapes for “La Contessa.”
The yield per hectare was 57 hl.

Grapes were destemmed and left to macerate in the press for six hours to leach out aroma substances and body from the skins. Fermentation was done in oak barrels with yeasts naturally occurring in the vineyard. The young wine was subsequently matured on the fine lees for nine months to enable the aromas and flavour to evolve.
