      wine description:

      At the end of the 19th century, Count Friedrich Toggenburg was governor of Tyrol and Vorarlberg, as well as the last Minister of the Interior of the Danube Monarchy. After South Tyrol was annexed to Italy, he served as a member of the Italian Parliament, where he advocated for the rights of German-speaking South Tyroleans. A highly respected figure, he was addressed as “Your Excellency” not just because of his positions. He was a great man, esteemed by all. This wine is as extraordinary as the figure it is named after. It encapsulates the essence of the grapes and exudes a refined yet noble restraint and splendour. An elegant wine in every aspect, with a signature style worthy of representing the character of Count Toggenburg.
