Il terreno, di origine morenica, gode di una trama stupefacente, è una mare sabbioso ricco di argilla e calcare, dall’ottimo drenaggio, con abbondanti ciottoli e nutrimenti minerali, - in altre parti compaiono vene di porfido. Ma la cosa importante è che nella stessa vigna convivono particelle totalmente differenti che aggiungono complessità al vino, che risulta terso, dal frutto raffinatissimo e marcato da profumi soavi.

Mazzon, Pinot Noir vineyards It’s impossible to not fall in love with Egna, a delightful hamlet which has spanned the centuries without loosing its identity. The houses are tiny, painted with vivid colors, and beneath them unravels a labyrinth of arcades which increases the characteristic appearance of medieval town. But the real deal are the vineyards. Here in the 19th century, Ludwig von Barth, a wiener scientist with a passion for wine, had the brilliant idea to plant some Pinot Noir’s vines. He thought that Mazzon’ plateau could have yielded great Pinot Noir and the good man was totally right, because right now this lovely valley, on the right bank of Adige River, 25 Km south of Bolzano, is considered Italy’s Côte d’Or.
