Where does it come from

This white is crafted in the locality of Chiusa, in the province of Bolzano, within the enchanting Valle Isarco, an area of Alto Adige historically tied to viticulture. In this specific region, Sylvaner vines have been cultivated for over a century and represent a variety truly rooted in the territory. The winery’s identity is strongly connected to this environment, which encourages a production focused on aromatic clarity. The brand name refers to the Eagle of Chiusa, a symbol of freedom and power that stands out on the label.

How is it produced

The production process starts with careful harvesting of the bunches, which undergo a gentle pressing to preserve the original qualities of the must. Next, temperature-controlled fermentation allows for the development and preservation of the primary aromas of the variety. After this phase, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks, continuing to mature on the fine lees. This precise thermal management gives the final result a profile oriented towards freshness and flavor harmony.
