Elena Walch’s Castel Ringberg vineyard is a very special,<br />
unique location home to a variety of soil types dating back to<br />

climate change<br />
Italy has a very particular orographic conformation, in the shape of a ‘T’ formed<br />
by the Alpine arc that traces a horizontal line to the North and the Apennines that<br />
run longitudinally from North to South. Mountain viticulture has a fundamental<br />
impact on the general picture of Italian winegrowing.<br />
