Waldgries
The Waldgries winery represents a solid wine reality set among the splendid mountain landscapes of South Tyrol, not far from the city of Bolzano, which has been naturally suited for viticulture for centuries. Here, the environmental characteristic that creates its richness is primarily identified in the geological complexity of the soils on which the vineyards rest, but also in the perfect climatic balance that favors the lush and healthy growth of the vine plants. Waldgries, for example, vinifies expressions of Lagrein and Schiava with rich structure and body due, in addition to the impeccable work in the cellar, also to the nature of its soils, of glacial origin and rich in porphyry.
The history of Waldgries, embodied by the figure of Christian Plattner, begins back in 1930, when Christian's grandfather purchased the estate and inaugurated an export to Switzerland of the wines he produced. Following the management of the winery was the father, who instead engaged in a pioneering bottling activity, a practice still not widespread in the area of Santa Maddalena. From these solid family foundations, it is now Christian who carries on the name and fame of the winery, with foresight and oenological talent while always looking back at the roots that have shaped him.
In the vineyards of Waldgries, for example, we can find native varieties, such as Lagrein, which are interpreted in a way that produces great wines, with an unusual rich organoleptic profile and intense structure that still maintain extraordinary finesse and elegance, a quality not always taken for granted in these South Tyrolean areas. Of great substance is also his sweet wine made from Moscato Rosa grapes, which manages to impress with its natural spicy and fragrant aromatic component. In conclusion, the Waldgries winery is certainly a reference point for mountain viticulture, which owes its success to the talent of the winemaker who manages it, strong in its historical family roots.
