Grandfather Josef Niedrist practiced great efficiency when producing and selling wines. In the early 1920s however, both political circumstances and the operational arrangements of our farm changed abruptly.
Alto Adige had become part of Italy as a result of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) and Grandfather died young in 1922.
His wife Antonia managed to keep the farm alive during the troublesome years between the wars; she was forced to stop on-site wine production.
