Tasting Notes

The Aichberg Cuvée DOC Riserva 2022 shines in a strong, brilliant golden yellow. On the nose, it develops slightly smoky aromas, which are accompanied by baked apples, honey and a touch of exoticism. On the palate, it is elegant and profound with a juicy fullness and a lively mineral finish.

About the Wine

The Aichberg Cuvée DOC Riserva 2022 from Weingut Kornell is an impressive white wine that impresses with its complexity and elegance. Made from Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, this wine combines the best qualities of each variety.

Pinot Bianco brings freshness and minerality, Chardonnay adds richness and structure, while Sauvignon Blanc provides aromatic depth and exotic notes. The ideal conditions are typical for this wine and the Eppan Berg wine-growing zone: a south-eastern orientation at an altitude of 450 meters and a soil consisting of calcareous clay. This combination of altitude, orientation and soil composition creates a perfect terroir for high-quality wines. 

Winery Notes

The Kornell winery is picturesquely located in Siebeneich, a district of Terlan in South Tyrol, Italy. This region, nestled between the Dolomites and the vineyards of the Adige Valley, offers ideal conditions for viticulture. The unique location, characterized by the Mediterranean climate and the cool downwinds from the Alps, creates a perfect terroir for high-quality wines.

The history of the winery goes back a long way: viticulture was documented here as early as the 13th century. The Brigl family, who have owned the winery since 1927, continues this long tradition. Florian Brigl, the current owner, sees his work not just as a job, but as a passion and a legacy of his ancestors. He underlines the importance of living in harmony with nature and passing on this tradition to future generations.

The winery covers 22 hectares, on which various grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Lagrein and St. Magdalener grow. The vineyards are located at altitudes of between 270 and 550 meters and benefit from a southerly orientation and a soil of sandy clay and porphyry rock. This combination gives Kornell Winery wines their characteristic taste and structure.
