Friedberg Lagrein IGT 2022 - Baron Longo

About the wine

Viticulture here dates back several centuries. Where the ancestors once founded visionary cooperatives in order to make winegrowing possible at all due to the small-scale ownership structure. With Anton Baron Longo on Wellenburg and Langenstein, another visionary - i.e. one who sees what is possible before others and reaches for it - has once again started growing his own wine in 2011. But the fact that he not only bottles outstanding, sometimes sensitive, sometimes sensitively expressive wines in such a short period of time and manages to convert the 20 ha to biodynamic viticulture (Demeter 2023) and sustainable corporate management is as unbelievable as it is true and encouraging. The new, bright star in South Tyrol's wine sky prevailed and started growing our own wine again in 2011.
