TENUTA KORNELL DI BRIGL FLORIAN

KORNELL WINERY Authentic wine tasting experiences. Exciting pathways that connect the past, the present and the future. Bold choices. The love of wine. This is what Florian Brigl and the Kornell Winery in the wonderful South Tyrol stand for. BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERN AGE The historic Kornell winery is protected by steep rocky slopes and lies surrounded by vineyards and majestic cedar trees. From the estate in Settequerce you can gaze over expanses of the Adige Valley. High above it sits the “Schloss Greifenstein” castle protectively enthroned on the mountain. The ruins of the castle and Kornell are closely connected with each other: the griffin, the heraldic animal of the castle, is emblazoned in the logo of the winery. The hundred-year-old walls of the estate could really tell some stories, and most of them are connected to the Brigl family, Florian’s ancestors. This traditional old South Tyrolean family, that was mentioned for the first time in the 13th century, has been active in the region and in the wine industry since that time. Florian Brigl has been leading the winery on his own for more than 20 years, and both he and the winery have grown and matured together. WHAT IS HIDDEN IN THE BOTTLES You can taste the uniqueness and variety of South Tyrol in each glass. Throughout the years, Florian and his team have been working the land and the vineyards with knowledge and courage, sensitivity and perseverance, which constitute the basis for the wines. Nature leaves its mark on every year of cultivation, and rightly so, because Kornell stands for authentic straight wines, that can tell their own stories without fear of comparison. The range consists of three lines: The signature wines are the unmistakable signature of Kornell: no compromises. These wines come from specific vineyards and they reflect their characteristics. Merlot Vigna Kressfeld is one of these; it is the sign of the South Tyrolean winery. The 30-year-old grapevine thrives on the estate. The porphyry soil and the Mediterranean climate bestow a special flavour to the grapes. Florian and his team pay special attention to the line of reserve wines. These single grape variety red wines are grown on the estate. They are strongly structured; you can taste the full fruit and they are not overloaded. The line “Sieben” also guarantees an enjoyable drinking experience. These wines do not add unnecessary frills; they are convincing thanks to their straightness. The Lagrein Greif, for example is, fruity, juicy and typical of the region, which is why it is called “Tyrolean” in the winery. The “Sieben” wines tell their own stories as well. COME OVER FOR A GLASS Listen to the stories of these wines directly at the mansion in the South Tyrolean Adige Valley! Experience wine tasting in the historic cellars, next to the hundred-year-old walls or comfortably in the shadow of the majestic old cedar trees with a wonderful view.
