In the mountain village of Naturns, South Tyrol, the Pratzner family makes wine with care and dedication on their steep, sun-drenched slopes. Falkenstein is a true family business, where several generations work together with respect for nature, tradition and detail.
Their wines are a direct reflection of the unique terroir: fresh, mineral and full of character. Behind each bottle is not only craftsmanship, but also a story of connection to land and family.
Falkenstein is a true family business, with the Pratzner family at the helm in Naturns, South Tyrol. Each family member plays their own role: Franz is responsible for the cellar, Bernadette works in the vineyard, and daughters Michaela and Magdalena bring fresh ideas and vision for the future of the estate. Their close collaboration and shared passion can be tasted in every bottle.
The Falkenstein vineyards are located on steep, sun-drenched slopes between 600 and 900 metres above sea level in the Vinschgau Valley — one of the driest and most distinctive wine-growing regions in South Tyrol. Thanks to the mineral soils, large temperature differences between day and night, and more than 300 sunny days per year, wines with refinement, excitement and an unprecedented sense of origin are produced here.
At Falkenstein, patience is key. The grapes are harvested by hand, gently pressed and aged in wood — acacia wood for white, barrique for red — and only released after at least a year in the bottle. The result is wines with depth, elegance and a strong connection to their origins. The family believes in an honest, pure style in which each vintage is allowed to speak at its own pace.
