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. |
