Kerner

Ticino DOC

2022

Our winery was among the first in Switzerland to plant Kerner, sensing its potential. The Maggia Delta offers ideal conditions for a brilliant pure expression of this semi-aromatic German grape variety-the result of a cross between and Trollinger and Riesling varieties.

Important: while stocks last, bottles may differ from the displayed image and have the historical Terreni alla Maggia label
