| Story | Named for the Renaissance castle built there by Habsburgs in 1620 and rising up from Lake Caldaro in alternating moderate and steep slopes, the Vigna "Castel Ringberg" is a crown jewel of the region and a monopole for Elena Walch, from where many of her award-winning, mineral-driven wines emanate. The term "Vigna" is an additional denomi- nation of origin, recognizing a precisely demarcated and cartographically recorded single vineyard. |
| Climate | Altitude: 330-400 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition | Vigna "Castel Ringberg" also boasts a multiplicity of soils. The higher perches, climbing into the "Mendel" ridge of the Dolomites, are of 30,000 year old glacial Adige River gravel, while calcareous soils with morainic substrata join loose limestone in gentler lower zones. |

| Aging | Extended yeast contact after fermentation. Bottling occurs the following spring. |
