Bruno Gottardi is known in Austria as a great wine expert and wine merchant with shops in Innsbruck and Vienna.
Recently, he has also acquired a reputation as an excellent wine producer.
In 1986 he bought Sarnheimhof, a winery located in the village of Mazzon, in the wine-growing region of Unterland, the heart of Sud-Tirol’s best Blauburgunder area or Blauburgunder-Himmel as they say locally. Having replanted the vineyard, training the vines on wires, he built a new winery, and in 1995 produced his first vintage.
"These are impressively grown-up Pinots. This Blauburgunder is exhilarating, bursting with wild
strawberry and rhubarb fruit rounded off with a savoury mint-and-liquorice finish. This is limpid primary Pinot, gratification aplenty, lively, balanced and extremely tasty."
