From the ocean into the glass

Where the rugged Northern Italian Alps lie today, there was an ocean

filled with colourful coral reefs 220 million years ago.

The sea retreated and over the course of millions of years the fossilized

coral reefs turned into an impressive mountain landscape.

Today the rock layers are still full of hidden fossils from their past

life in the ocean. They tell of a time gone by.

Crabs, mussels and the nautilus snail – with its perfectly formed lime casing –

are just a few of them.

The vines of the RIFF wines grow on the slopes of this mountain landscape

in the Veneto region. We, the Alois Lageder Winery from Alto Adige, produce them together

with partners from the region. The result are wines with a lively and

fresh character that express their origins and are pleasurable to drink.
