History
Tiefenbrunner planted the Feldmarschall vineyard on the high Penon-Fennberg plateau at 1000 metres in the late 1960s and bottled the first Feldmarschall von Fenner in 1971. The wine has become an outstanding example of Italian Mueller-Thurgau over 40-plus years, and since 2017 is part of the cellar's Vigna selection.
