Our winery in South Tyrol: a paradise between heaven and earth
Nestled between lovingly tended vineyards, our winery in South Tyrol is located above the idyllic valley basin of Merano/Meran. A warm wind swirls through the vineyards of our winery in South Tyrol, while the rays of the sun dance on the grapes and their leaves, giving them their unmistakable flavour. The panorama, which extends from Ifinger and Hirzer to the Texel Group and the entire Merano/Meran basin, is simply magnificent – as magnificent as the wines that are produced in our unique winery, the Plonerhof in Marlengo/Marling near Merano/Meran, in South Tyrol.
A winery in South Tyrol cultivated in harmony with nature
The secret of our great wines lies in the vineyard. The roots of the vines sink deep into the sandy loam soil with granite, slate, and gneiss deposits allowing the plants to absorb the unique minerals. The grapes of our varietal that grow on our winery in South Tyrol receive rich nutrients. Great wines are produced in harmony with the climate and nature. This is the ideology that we follow at our winery, the Plonerhof in Marlengo/Marling near Merano/Meran, and the reason we are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture.
Natural viticulture in Marlengo/Marling near Merano/Meran
Thanks to our many years of experience as vine-growers, we know how to achieve the highest quality: through the perfect interplay of terroir, yield reduction, and near-natural cultivation. That is why we have planted the rows of vines on our winery in South Tyrol, the Plonerhof in Marlengo/Marling in Merano/Meran, with an inclination of up to 40% and in the fall line. During the day, the warm air rises through the vineyard, while the cool evening winds blow into the valley. The result of the thermal is outstanding aromatic notes. That is what makes the wines of our winery in South Tyrol, the Plonerhof in Marlengo/Marling near Merano/Meran, so special.
Great things take time: pleasure you can taste
At the vineyards, we attentively observe every step in the growth-process of our grapes and only intervene with gentle care when necessary. The whole family at the Plonerhof Winery helps to bring the grapes to full maturity with professional competence, diligence, and passion. This includes the considerable targeted reduction of grapes on individual vines in spring and summer. The reward for this is the excellent wine from our winery in South Tyrol. Only the best, fully ripe grapes are carefully harvested in order to be processed with great care in the wine cellar of our winery in South Tyrol. The temperature-controlled fermentation of the wines, which then mature in large and small wooden barrels in the cool cellar of our winery in South Tyrol, takes place slowly and gradually. We give our wines the time they need. Only when the wines have developed their full flavour and we are completely satisfied, are they bottled to rest for another several months. At the Plonerhof in Marlengo/Marling, we want you to be able to taste our passion for viticulture.
