Description

A wine with great personality, very expressive. Pinot Bianco as well as Riesling are unmistakable, subtle and fiery, we could call them 'feline' for their nervous and snappy energy. Pinot Bianco is a very 'Valle Venosta' wine in its smoky and peppery notes, and very Falkenstein for its citrus vein and important, vibrant structure with a firm but perfectly registered acid backbone.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1995
  • Oenologist: Magdalena e Franz Pratzner
  • Bottles produced: 90.000
  • Hectares: 12
At the age of 20, Franz put his first wine in the cellar. A fascinating experience that leaves its mark and ignites his inner fire. And the desire to become a wine maker becomes irresistible.

A dream that does not come by chance: it is in fact here that in the past Schiava grapes were pressed for the family Inn. There are mentions of the Falkenstein wine region and the vineyard dating back to the 12th century, and the Pratzner family can celebrate more than two hundred years of existence.

A traditional outlook and attention to detail. These are words full of meaning for the Pratzner family. The constant daily activities are based on manual work, with the machines only there to provide support. Since 2003, all the wines are vinified in the new cellar. White wines age in large acacia wood casks in the cellar carved into the rock.

Wine is the reflection of the winemaker, and of the passion and philosophy with which the vine is treated. At the Falkenstein winery, we want to continue to produce naturally and to respect the environment. We remain faithful to our intergenerational motto: live in close contact with nature and appreciate it, but never underestimate it.
