Voices from the wine world on the Pfannenstielhof ANNVER St. Magdalener Classico

Der Feinschmecker 4/2021:
"The St. Magdalener "Annver" is of a quality that one would not have thought of the Vernatsch grape even ten years ago. Pfeifer has helped the underrated grape variety to new heights."

Jens Priewe in Der Feinschmecker issue 12/2020:
"I have never drunk such a good St. Magdalener as the "Annver": a soft, spicy, wonderfully drinkable wine, created from a selection of the oldest Vernatsch vines. It is dedicated to Anna and Veronika, Hannes Pfeifer's young daughters, who are just about to follow in their father's footsteps. If you pick up the wine directly at the Pfannenstielhof on the Bolzano valley floor, you will get to know the two of them. It's best to buy the wine right away in the magnum bottle."
