Martin Foradori-Hofstetter (cousin of Elisabetta of Teroldego fame) makes what is probably Alto Adige's finest Pinot Noir and its most delectable Gewurztraminer. The historic family estate features vineyards on both banks of the Adige river. Barthenau is home the the famous Vigna S. Urbano while Vigna S. Michele is home to their age-worthy Pinot Bianco. Elegant and impressive.
