En 2001, il fonda <a href=\"\/fr\/moric\/\" title=\"Domaine Moric dans le Burgenland\">Moric<\/a> dans le Burgenland avec une vision radicale : vinifier le <strong>Blaufr\u00e4nkisch comme un Pinot Noir de Bourgogne<\/strong>, avec \u00e9l\u00e9gance plut\u00f4t qu'opulence, avec retenue plut\u00f4t que surextraction. En 2023, Falstaff l'a \u00e9lu vigneron de l'ann\u00e9e.\n\nLes Hidden Treasures sont son chapitre suivant. Pour Velich, la fronti\u00e8re austro-hongroise est une ligne sur le papier, pas une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 viticole. Historiquement, le Burgenland appartenait \u00e0 la Hongrie ; les c\u00e9pages sont les m\u00eames, les sols d'une parent\u00e9 volcanique. Avec les Hidden Treasures, il associe de <strong>jeunes vignerons hongrois<\/strong> \u00e0 sa philosophie d'intervention minimale : fermentation spontan\u00e9e, pas de collage, aucun compromis.\n\n<h2>Trois volcans, trois tr\u00e9sors<\/h2>\n\nLa s\u00e9rie r\u00e9unit trois vignerons de trois r\u00e9gions volcaniques de Hongrie. \u00c0 <strong>Tokaj<\/strong>, Gerg\u0151 Filep travaille sur \u00e0 peine six hectares avec de tr\u00e8s vieilles vignes de <a href=\"\/fr\/sorte\/furmint\/\" title=\"C\u00e9page Furmint\">Furmint<\/a>. Ses vignes reposent sur des sols de tuf volcanique et de l\u0153ss, les m\u00eames coteaux qui produisaient autrefois des vins qui, dans les cours europ\u00e9ennes, <strong>co\u00fbtaient deux \u00e0 trois fois plus cher que la Bourgogne ou Ch\u00e2teau Margaux<\/strong>. Le Tokaji Asz\u00fa \u00e9tait le \u00ab vin des rois \u00bb, avant que l'histoire du XXe si\u00e8cle ne coupe la Hongrie du march\u00e9 mondial du vin.\n\nSur le <strong>Soml\u00f3<\/strong>, la plus petite r\u00e9gion viticole de Hongrie, Tam\u00e1s Kis cultive ses parcelles en bio. Le Soml\u00f3 est un c\u00f4ne volcanique isol\u00e9 aux sols de basalte d'un noir profond ; H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 et Furmint y poussent avec une min\u00e9ralit\u00e9 qui \u00e9voque la pierre liquide. Kis passe pour l'un des jeunes vignerons les plus talentueux du pays.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219923 size-large rounded-corners-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/moric_galerie2.webp\" alt=\"Vignobles volcaniques en Hongrie\" \/>\n\nAu bord du <strong>Balaton<\/strong>, le Suisse Philipp Oser a fond\u00e9 en 2004 le domaine Villa Tolnay. Sur les pentes nord du lac, autour du volcan \u00e9teint de Badacsony, il cultive le Rajnai Rizling, nom hongrois du Riesling, et le Furmint sur des sols d'alt\u00e9ration basaltique.\n\n<h2>Grandeur oubli\u00e9e, nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration<\/h2>\n\nL'histoire viticole de la Hongrie est l'une des plus anciennes et des plus tragiques d'Europe. Alors que le Tokaji Asz\u00fa passait pour la boisson la plus pr\u00e9cieuse aux cours de Versailles et de Saint-P\u00e9tersbourg, le phyllox\u00e9ra, deux guerres mondiales et quatre d\u00e9cennies d'\u00e9conomie planifi\u00e9e ont effac\u00e9 la m\u00e9moire collective. Les domaines d'\u00c9tat produisaient de la quantit\u00e9 plut\u00f4t que de la qualit\u00e9, les anciens coteaux sont retourn\u00e9s \u00e0 l'\u00e9tat sauvage.\n\nLes Hidden Treasures de Velich participent d'une r\u00e9volution silencieuse. Des domaines comme <a href=\"\/fr\/kiralyudvar\/\" title=\"Domaine Kir\u00e1lyudvar \u00e0 Tokaj\">Kir\u00e1lyudvar<\/a> \u00e0 Tokaj ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait revivre les grandeurs d'antan. Les trois vignerons des Hidden Treasures vont encore plus loin : ils unissent l'h\u00e9ritage historique \u00e0 la philosophie du vin nature. <strong>Pas de levures s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9es, pas de collage, pas de filtration<\/strong>, mais des vins authentiques qui ont le go\u00fbt d'une horloge remont\u00e9e de 150 ans.\n\n<h2>La min\u00e9ralit\u00e9 pannonienne dans le verre<\/h2>\n\nCe qui relie les trois r\u00e9gions : des <strong>sols volcaniques<\/strong>. Tuf, basalte, cendres : la signature g\u00e9ologique marque chaque vin de la s\u00e9rie.

Le Furmint de Tokaj apporte la structure acide classique de la r\u00e9gion, l'assemblage du Balaton la fra\u00eecheur aromatique du Riesling.\n\nVelich ne vinifie pas lui-m\u00eame ces vins : il conseille, s\u00e9lectionne, fait office de curateur. La signature reste celle des vignerons hongrois. Sa contribution, c'est le lien : <strong>le savoir-faire autrichien rencontre le terroir hongrois<\/strong>, la philosophie de Moric rencontre la tradition pannonienne.

Nel 2001 fond\u00f2 <a href=\"\/it\/moric\/\" title=\"Moric nel Burgenland\">Moric<\/a> nel Burgenland con una visione radicale: vinificare il <strong>Blaufr\u00e4nkisch come un Pinot Noir di Borgogna<\/strong>, puntando sull'eleganza anzich\u00e9 sull'opulenza, sulla misura anzich\u00e9 sulla sovraestrazione. Nel 2023 Falstaff lo ha nominato vignaiolo dell'anno.\n\nGli Hidden Treasures sono il suo capitolo successivo. Per Velich il confine austro-ungarico \u00e8 una linea sulla carta, non una realt\u00e0 viticola. Storicamente il Burgenland apparteneva all'Ungheria, i vitigni sono gli stessi e i suoli hanno una comune parentela vulcanica. Con gli Hidden Treasures mette in contatto <strong>giovani vignaioli ungheresi<\/strong> con la sua filosofia dell'intervento minimo: fermentazione spontanea, nessuna chiarifica, nessun compromesso.\n\n<h2>Tre vulcani, tre tesori<\/h2>\n\nLa serie riunisce tre vignaioli di tre regioni vulcaniche dell'Ungheria. A <strong>Tokaj<\/strong> Gerg\u0151 Filep lavora su appena sei ettari con antichissime viti di <a href=\"\/it\/sorte\/furmint\/\" title=\"Vitigno Furmint\">Furmint<\/a>. I suoi vigneti poggiano su suoli di tufo vulcanico e loess, gli stessi che un tempo davano vini che alle corti europee <strong>costavano due o tre volte pi\u00f9 della Borgogna o di Ch\u00e2teau Margaux<\/strong>. Il Tokaji Asz\u00fa era il \"vino dei re\", prima che la storia del Novecento tagliasse fuori l'Ungheria dal mercato mondiale del vino.\n\nSul <strong>Soml\u00f3<\/strong>, la pi\u00f9 piccola regione vinicola ungherese, Tam\u00e1s Kis coltiva le sue parcelle in biologico. Il Soml\u00f3 \u00e8 un unico cono vulcanico con suoli di basalto nerissimo: qui crescono H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 e Furmint con una mineralit\u00e0 che ricorda la pietra liquida. Kis \u00e8 considerato uno dei giovani vignaioli pi\u00f9 talentuosi del paese.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219923 size-large rounded-corners-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/moric_galerie2.webp\" alt=\"Vigneti vulcanici in Ungheria\" \/>\n\nSul <strong>Balaton<\/strong> lo svizzero Philipp Oser ha fondato nel 2004 la tenuta Villa Tolnay. Sui pendii settentrionali del lago, intorno al vulcano spento Badacsony, coltiva Rajnai Rizling (cos\u00ec gli ungheresi chiamano il Riesling) e Furmint su suoli di disfacimento basaltico.\n\n<h2>Grandezza dimenticata, nuova generazione<\/h2>\n\nLa storia vinicola ungherese \u00e8 una delle pi\u00f9 antiche e tragiche d'Europa. Mentre il Tokaji Asz\u00fa era considerato la bevanda pi\u00f9 preziosa alle corti di Versailles e San Pietroburgo, la fillossera, due guerre mondiali e quattro decenni di economia pianificata ne cancellarono la memoria collettiva. Le aziende di Stato producevano quantit\u00e0 anzich\u00e9 qualit\u00e0, e i vecchi vigneti tornarono selvatici.\n\nGli Hidden Treasures di Velich fanno parte di una rivoluzione silenziosa. Produttori come <a href=\"\/it\/kiralyudvar\/\" title=\"Kir\u00e1lyudvar a Tokaj\">Kir\u00e1lyudvar<\/a> a Tokaj hanno gi\u00e0 riportato in vita le antiche glorie. I tre vignaioli degli Hidden Treasures fanno un passo in pi\u00f9: uniscono l'eredit\u00e0 storica alla filosofia del vino naturale. <strong>Niente lieviti selezionati, niente chiarifiche, niente filtrazione<\/strong>, ma vini autentici che sanno di un orologio riportato indietro di 150 anni.\n\n<h2>Mineralit\u00e0 pannonica nel bicchiere<\/h2>\n\nCi\u00f2 che accomuna le tre regioni sono i <strong>suoli vulcanici<\/strong>. Tufo, basalto, cenere: la firma geologica segna ogni vino della serie. Lo <a href=\"\/it\/hidden-treasures-nr-2-somlo-kis-tamas-2021-moric\/\" title=\"Hidden Treasures Nr. 2 Soml\u00f3\">Hidden Treasures Nr. 2 dal Soml\u00f3<\/a> mostra questa mineralit\u00e0 nel modo pi\u00f9 netto: salino, fum\u00e9, con una trama come di pietra levigata. Il Furmint di Tokaj porta la classica struttura acida della regione, il blend del Balaton la freschezza aromatica del Riesling.\n\nVelich non vinifica personalmente questi vini: consiglia, seleziona, cura. La firma resta quella dei vignaioli ungheresi. Il suo contributo \u00e8 il collegamento: <strong>il know-how austriaco incontra il terroir ungherese<\/strong>, la filosofia di Moric incontra la tradizione pannonica.
