History
Lageder planted the Cor area (Latin for 'heart') of the Roemigberg vineyard above Lake Caldaro with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot in 1986. The steep slope is one of the family's most prized parcels; Demeter biodynamic certification was achieved in 2008 alongside the rest of the estate.
