Kerner

Ticino DOC

2023

Own production

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.
