The Brigl family has a long history in the wine industry. At a very young age, in 1996, Florian Brigl took over the domain. In 2001 the winery was renovated, and new cellars were built on the domain. Ever since, the delicacies of various grapes such as Lagrein, Pinot Nero, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon blanc, pinot blanc and Gewürztraminer, mature there. Each grape and each cuvée shows pure finesse and balance. The Griffin, printed on each bottle, comes from the banner of the local castle Greifenstein. A Griffin is a mythical animal that is half human/ half eagle. This sense of history, and the deep faith in nature is to be found in every bottle of their wines. The 'Staves' series are the flagship of the domain and belong to the absolute top of Alto Adige. their name comes from the bars which are used to tie the vines to, on the steep slopes of the Dolomites.
