COR RÖMIGBERG Cabernet Sauvignon fun at the adventure
In the 1980s, Alois Lageder's discussions with winemakers from all over the world, such as the legendary pioneer of American viticulture Robert Mondavi and several chateau owners from Bordeaux, gave him the impetus to introduce Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot in trellis training in this vineyard, which was originally planted with the Vernatsch grape. Thus, in 1986, the first larger vineyard in South Tyrol was planted in dense planting on a wire frame, which caused great discussion. This plot, which has been called 'heart' (lat. Cor) since time immemorial, gives the wine its name. 13,5 % Vol Grape varieties:Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot Method of cultivation: biodynamically farmed,Demeter certified
