South Tyrol: Manincor, The Sustainable Wine Estate in Caldaro

Manincor, a 400 Year-old Wine Estate

From the Schloss Hotel Korb to Manincor, there is half an hour drive. I visit the vineyard with its owner, the Count Michael Goess-Enzenberg, passionate about ecology and biodynamic farming. The setting near Caldaro Lake is superb (picture 3).

Between the vines, wild flowers grow and insects foraging. He applies the principles of biodynamic and focuses on the biodiversity. His key words are respect for the environment and sustainability.

Picture 1: the sap that flows from the size, contains valuable minerals and antioxidants. This liquid is the basis of a line of cosmetic facial, developed by the Count and his family, Acqua Vinea Nobilis, in collaboration with TREHS, the brand of natural cosmetics I discovered at the Vigilius Mountain Resort.

Picture 4: the tasting room, where I tasted a few wines. My favorite: the elegant Cassiano (2009) et Kalterersee Keil, a light ruby color wine to serve cold.

Süd Tyrol: Manincor, le vignoble durable de Caldaro

Manincor : vignoble vieux de 400 ans

A une demi-heure du Schloss Hotel Korb en voiture : le vignoble de Manincor que je visite avec son propriétaire, le comte Michael Goëss-Enzenberg, passionné d’écologie et d’agriculture biodynamiqueLe cadre est superbe, à proximité du lac de Caldaro (photo 3).

Entre les pieds de vignes, des fleurs poussent “librement” et des insectes butinent. Il applique les principes de la biodynamique et privilégie la biodiversité sur son domaine, où les maîtres mots sont respect de l’environnement et durabilité.

Photo 1 : la sève qui coule après la taille, contient des minéraux aux précieux antioxydants. Ce liquide est à la base d’une ligne de soins cosmétiques visage, développée par le comte et sa famille, Acqua Vinea Nobilis, en collaboration avec TREHS, la marque de produits cosmétiques naturels que j’ai découverte au Vigilius Mountain Resort.

Photo 4 : la salle de dégustation, où j’ai goûté quelques vins. Mes préférés : l’élégant Cassiano (2009) et Kalterersee Keil, un vin léger couleur rubis à servir froid.

Un grand merci à Suedtirol et Lufthansa pour cette belle invitation. Comme toujours ce sont mes opinions.

Vigilius Mountain Resort : Cosy Pool and Yoga

7 a.m. I leave my room to go to the pool

with large windows and wooden structures, opened on a beautiful landscape and a large wooden deck. The feeling of swimming among trees changes everything! No use of chlorine either, replaced by a natural process less odorous. 

You don’t exercise, you slip on the water among the top of trees.

Two basins: the left one is big enough for a real swimming session (pictue above). While the right one is a whirlpool (picture below). The water temperature is hotter, because half of the basin is outside.

Then I decide to do a yoga class. I’m not a big fan of yoga and all the “show” that goes with it! But I’m supposed to pampering my back… body and soul!

And great surprise, the course is a blend of Hatha Yoga, Chi Gong (breathing)… the kind of I can link postures like a slow motion danse (a bit weird, I know!), in a big room with light wood, large windows open on the trees and thanks : no guru image (no comment!). It’s magic, it changes everything, even yoga, could you imagine? LOL!
