Kerner Köfererhof 2020

The Kerner of the Köfererhof winery is an exceptional white wine typical of the Valle Isarco, obtained from a cross between the Riesling and the Schiava grossa. Produced entirely with Kerner grapes grown at 650 meters above sea level, the Kerner Kofererhof shows a beautiful intense straw yellow color; in the nose it is a very aromatic and complex wine, with hints of lemon and a slight mineral note on the finish. The taste is fruity, fresh, with a slight sapidity on the finish and it’s characterized by an excellent persistence. The Kerner Köfererhof is perfect to drink as an aperitif or in combination with fresh fish appetizers or savoury pies with vegetables.

The winery Köfererhof is located in Novacella, on a hill of Bressanone at the foot of the Dolomites. The winery has operated as a grape company for many years and Gunther Kerschbaumer began bottling its wines only in 1995. Since then the quality of the wines produced improved harvest after harvest, so much that the wines of the Köfererhof winery became among the best in Italy soon. The weather conditions typical of South Tyrol are very special and are characterized by important temperature ranges between day and night; they contribute to the production of excellent white wines, amplifying the aromas and aromatic complexity of the wines. The production of Köfererhof is particularly focused on autochthonous and typical vine varieties of Alto Adige, such as Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc and Müller Thurgau but also Riesling Italico, Gewürztraminer and Sylvaner.
