Konrad Oberhofer. Piazza Municipio, 7, 39040 Termeno (BZ)
A noble grape variety of German origin, Riesling originated along the banks of the Rhine River. But, since the second half of the 19th century, it has also been successfully cultivated in South Tyrol, where the climate is just as cool and where its roots can sink into compound soils rich in valuable minerals. The winemaking technique is always the same for the beautiful South Tyrolean winery. After a careful harvest, the best grapes are brought to the cellar to be lightly pressed, leaving the skins in contact with the must for about 8 hours before pressing. The must is then separated from the residues through natural precipitation and left to ferment at a controlled temperature. Light yellow in colour with greenish highlights, it is fruity on the palate, with notes reminiscent of peach and apricot and a fresh finish thanks to its well-balanced acidity. It is perfect with white meats, roasts and first courses with meat sauces.
Konrad Oberhofer was a winegrower with a pioneering approach. Recognising the potential of his vineyards, he began to vinify the grapes of the individual estates separately, thus increasing the quality of his wines. This modern vision soon led him to abandon the sale of bulk wine, opting for marketing in bottles. Today, with the same perseverance and passion as then, Martin Foradori has picked up his grandfather Konrad's baton, selecting and vinifying grapes from the prized vineyards of Alto Adige, in order to carry on the historic tradition of his family and its world-renowned wines. Whereas in the past it was the Schiava, a local native grape variety, that monopolised the market, today it is the other varieties such as Lagrein, also native, and the noble Pinot Noir. With them Gewürztraminer, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon and Müller Thurgau.
