I am Maria Elisabeth Kiem Calligione, and this modest production of Sauvignon Blanc stems from the wish to continue my family’s tradition. In my childhood memories, our vineyard always held a deep significance for me: the grape harvest, moments of happiness and family affection.
It was for this reason that I needed to keep memories alive, even though I am occupied with other things in my life, such as travelling and art.
I would particularly like to thank my husband Angelo Calligione for the success of this project. Beeing great all his lifetime as building contractor, he always encouraged me with enthusiasm and sensibility.

Martin Aurich
Martin Aurich has been by my side as a wine-grower from the very beginning and has helped me to produce my Sauvignon Blanc. His uncomplicated manner and very specific approach to wine-growing, combined with the devotion and care with which he has run the small but very special „UNTERORTL“ business at JUVAL CASTLE for many years, convinced me to ask him to work with me.
With his thorough knowledge oft he area and the particularities of its produce, he recognised the potential of this vineyard and its wine, and enabled me to achieve a high-quality result.
