History: At Castel Toblino, which joins its lake, lies a historic vineyard of 30 hq., Guardians wooden pergola. Already in the seventeenth century, a chronicler of the Council of Trent defines the wines of Castel Toblino rare and lovely chest. The accounts Wolkenstein, owners of the castle, continue to produce this sweet wine, in the Habsburg era, especially in markets that appreciated the Austrian and German (then still under Austrian rule Trentino). At the end of World War I, with the fall dellAustria, also the market collapses and the Holy Wine begins a period of decline. Today the situation exacerbated by the tendency planted international varieties preferred by the market at the expense of traditional ones, as Nosiola, which may even disappear. Only the tenacity of some producers to keep alive this ancient tradition. Are used to produce scattered clusters (those with sparse berries), from old vines in a few places and separate parcels, only allowing the long drying (only 10% of the vineyards of the Valley of Lakes Nosiola deemed appropriate by the producers lappassimento for, then just over 10 hectares in total for all five existing producers). The ripe grapes, harvested late, are lying on mats, Arel said, and placed on the attic.
