Embedded in the picturesque landscape of South Tyrol, surrounded by majestic mountains, we find the legendary “Pinot Noir Heaven.” That’s the nickname of this lovely wine region encircling Mazon. Because that’s where the Pinot Noir grape variety thrives under nearly perfect conditions, and where it is made into incomparable wines. Such further grape varieties as Lagrein, Gewürztraminer, and Manzoni Bianco (in the district of Vill) can also be found here.
Here in Mazon, in the “Unterland” area of South Tyrol above the little town of Neumarkt, lies our family winery. At an altitude of between 280 and 450 meters above se-level, our grapevines grow under optimal conditions: In the valley, on limestone-rich moraine soils in Vill and on the sandy, clayey slopes of Mazon with their western exposure, under the afternoon sun and in cool nights, the gentle “Ora” wind coming off Lake Garda – they all combined to create a unique landscape.
In our wine cellars, we work at an unhurried pace, with restraint and patience. This enables us to emphasize the unique characteristics of the grape varieties and to highlight our own individual style. Ultimately, every vintage and every bottle of our wines thus bears the unmistakable signature of the Brunnenhof Mazzon. We produce delicious wines with their own profile and unique history.
Our ancestors were devoted to and invested tremendous patience in all the facets of wine-making, and they passed their enthusiasm on to us. Our family has been managing the more than two-century-old Brunnenhof Winery since 1999. Here we have succeeded in capturing the essence of our terroirs and made full use of the landscape, climate, and family tradition to present superb vintages.
