The historical administrative building of Medieval origin was almost
entirely uncovered by demolishing an extension from a later period. In
this context, the courtyard acquired new grandeur thanks to effective
lighting solutions.
A new building was added to the older one, knowledgeably echoing the
lines of the ancient façades and, compared to the older buildings, it is
presented with an architectural language that is as discreet as it is
modern.

Winemaker Gerhard Kofler, on the left next to the former president
Helmut Meraner, recognizes the unique potential of the "Ganger" vineyard
in Mazzon and produces for the first time the single-vineyard wine
Vigna Ganger Mazon Pinot Noir Riserva 2012 - according to the Italian
Vigna-guidelines.
Years of thorough research and countless tests with mini production
volumes finally led us to the perfect site, the Ganger monopole. It is
located in Mazon, at between 360 and 380 meters above sea-level, with a
southwesterly exposure and a slope of 3–5%, and has a unique
microclimate and deep calcareous clayey soils.
A wine as incomparable and unique as the site itself!
