History
The Vigna Klosteranger comes from the historic 2.7-hectare walled vineyard immediately behind the Benedictine monastery in central Bolzano. Protected by ancient monastery walls and bordering the River Talfer, the site has produced Lagrein for centuries; the Riserva designation marks the longest-aged tier in the Muri-Gries portfolio.
