Dio 2024 is a natural wine crafted by Koppitsch, in the Burgenland region in Austria. This very refreshing, crisp white wine is made with 70% Chadonnay and 30% Welschriesling grapes. Whilst similar to Homok, Dio has a slightly creamier, saltier edge.
Truly delicious! Wet rocks, citrus zest, salt and vanilla.
DIO information from Koppitsch
DIÓ – what it means
Hungarian word and translates into NUT. We only use grapes that grow on the clay soils of this vineyard on NEUBERG. In front of this vineyard we have 3 very old nut trees, hence the name
NEUBERG belongs to the best vineyard sites Burgenland has to offer. It is one of the oldest vineyard sites in our area. Vines have been growing here for many of hundreds of years. NEUBERG is a very rocky limestone hill in the northwest of the village Neusiedl and belongs to the Leithaberg Mountains. Its hills are softly rolling towards the lake and slope either southeast or north south. The soil is diverse, ranging from pretty scarce and surfacing huge amounts of limestone fragments (in some parts schist) to heavy, rich loam .
