Manincor Kalterersee Keil Schiava

The estate’s historical buildings date from 1608, built by Hieronymus Manincor. The emperor had endowed him with land beside the Lake of Kaltern for his services to Austria and at the same time raised him to the ranks of the nobility. Man-in-cor’ means roughly ‘Hand on heart’ and can still be seen on the facade of the manor house. Hieronymus Manincor’s grand daughter married one of Count Enzenberg’s ancestors in 1662. Since then there has been a relationship between the Manincor manor and the family which now runs it. 

Vigna “der Keil” (monopole) at an altitude of 250m above sea level; south-facing sites overlooking the Lake of Kaltern, among the warmest in all South Tyrol. The old vines are pergola-trained and grown in sandy-clay soils rich in calcium carbonate. Bright soft-hued ruby. Delicately fruity on the nose reminiscent of cherry and toasted almonds, juicy on the palate, extremely “quaffable” and elegant on the finish.
