History
Kerner is a 1929 Wuerttemberg crossing of Vernatsch (Schiava) and Riesling that became one of Alto Adige's signature whites. The Aristos Kerner is grown at the cooperative's highest plots, between 800 and 970 m, where altitude preserves acidity and amplifies the variety's nutmeg-and-peach signature.
