The word „Vigna“ on the label of an Italian wine designates a single-vineyard wine made from grapes harvested from one precisely demarcated parcel. At Tenuta J. Hofstätter, these wines embody the intrinsic quality and style of a specific vineyard – year after year.
Paolo Foradori was the first to introduce this classification in Alto Adige in 1987. His pioneering work led the wine estate to name the specific vineyard parcels on the labels of the Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano Pinot Nero and the Barthenau Vigna S. Michele Pinot Bianco.
