The Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva DOC "Fellis" from Bessererhof is a true expression of the elegance and fineness that characterize the white wines of this renowned Italian wine region. Located in the heart of Alto Adige, Bessererhof is well known for its commitment to quality and the use of sustainable methods that are clearly reflected in the character of this wine.
The Chardonnay Riserva "Fellis" stands out for its bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and inviting bouquet with notes of green apple, white peach, and a subtle touch of vanilla and oak, resulting from meticulous aging in barrique. These olfactory sensations lead to a palate that perfectly balances the fresh acidity typical of Chardonnay with a rich and enveloping structure.
In the mouth, its elegance blends with the vivacity of the fruits tempered by the creamy effect conferred by the fermentation and maturation in wood. The finish is long and persistent, with echoes of ripe fruit and a delicate aftertaste of toasted almond that invites another sip.
This wine is ideal as an aperitif, but it also pairs beautifully with fish dishes, poultry in creamy sauces, and moderately aged cheeses. Its complexity and sophistication make it perfect for special occasions or as a gift for wine lovers.
The Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva DOC "Fellis" from Bessererhof is a testament to how the unique terroir of Alto Adige can be interpreted through the lens of an international variety, resulting in a wine that is as distinctive as it is memorable.

Winery history
The Mair family has practiced viticulture at Bessererhof since the late 1950s. Initially, grapes were supplied to local wineries; the first vintage vinified and marketed entirely by the family (Otmar and Rosmarie Mair) dates to 1998. Between 2013 and 2015 the farm facilities and the winery were renovated and a tasting room and on-site shop were added. Today management involves multiple generations of the family, and the estate bottles approximately 50,000 to 60,000 bottles annually.
Production philosophy
Natural viticulture with a strong focus on soil quality and exposures: limiting the use of herbicides and fertilizers, manual work on steep slopes, selecting the most suitable sites for each variety, and protecting the vineyards with nets against hail, birds and insects. The approach aims to enhance the mineral expression of the land and the connection between vineyard and cellar.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located at the foot of the Altipiano dello Sciliar in the Dolomites, the southernmost area of the Valle Isarco. The vineyards extend across elevations of approximately 350 m to 900 m (Tiso, Val di Funes). Soils range from porphyry debris and sandy‑gravelly ground to patches of volcanic/tuffaceous origin; the presence of dolomitic rock is cited as the source of the wines’ pronounced minerality.
