Manni Nössing, an idealistic and headstrong winemaker, grew up in a family that owned a farm named "Hoandlhof." Located on a hill overlooking the city of Brixen magnificently, it originally sustained itself by raising cattle. In 1999 the vineyard was planted. Although wine cooperatives and large wineries had a long tradition in the Eisack Valley, Manni Nössing decided to vinify his grapes independently, aiming early on to bring out the origin and character from his bottles, as well as an independent style and a distinct identity.
He was soon dubbed "the rebel." In 2003 he launched his first Kerner on the market, which immediately won the Tre Bicchieri award from Italy's leading wine guide. Since then, the success has never stopped. On an area of six hectares, he now produces Sylvaner, Riesling, Veltliner, Müller Thurgau and an excellent Kerner, which for years has earned him the nickname "Mr. Kerner" in Italy and abroad.
