Frequently Asked Questions

Because living soils create living wines. Demeter is not a label for us, but a philosophy — a commitment to nature and authenticity.
Our Kune Kune pigs promote biodiversity and keep the soil alive. They are part of our closed Demeter biodynamic cycle of plant, animal, and human — essential to sustainable viticulture in South Tyrol.
Sustainability means continuity — ecological, social, and cultural. We think in generations, not years.
We plant vineyards at higher altitudes and work gently with nature. This helps us preserve freshness, balance, and origin in every vintage.
Because we work independently and cultivate all our grapes ourselves. These partnerships reflect our values of authenticity, transparency, and responsibility.

Our family lives and works among the vines. Every decision is made with respect for heritage and future generations
We preserve what has proven itself and renew what makes sense. Ancient knowledge and modern precision form a harmonious unity in our cellar.
Wine for us is craftsmanship, not industry. Every bottle carries the human touch.
Because we don’t contradict nature. Each vintage tells its own authentic story.

We intervene only when necessary. The wine develops naturally and autonomously — we simply guide and observe.

Technology serves us — not the other way around. We use it to preserve nature’s integrity, not to replace it.

Because we remove nothing that belongs to the wine. Clarity comes through patience, not technology.
Sediment is a natural deposit of yeast and minerals. It shows that the wine remains authentic and alive.
Because we avoid animal products entirely. We use only bentonite clay, a natural mineral, for clarification if needed.
