Thomas Mattman

The Path

No named school appears in the chronology. What does appear is a defined run at Cicero Weinbau AG, where Thomas Mattmann served as Chief Executive officer until 2011. In a short record, that kind of title does the work of a longer apprenticeship: it points to responsibility for an operation where vineyard discipline and cellar timing have to stay aligned. Zizers, Switzerland, is the fixed point in the story, and it matters. Wine made there is tied to place before it is tied to presentation, so the geography itself becomes part of the professional profile. The absence of a longer paper trail leaves the emphasis on the role, the location, and the year the chapter closed.

The Work Today

The present-tense material is limited, so the craft reading has to stay close to the record. What survives suggests a working relationship to wine built around release, timing, and anticipation rather than public display. In that sense, Thomas Mattmann’s name appears less as a biography than as a marker attached to wines and the planning behind them. The strongest signal is the way his own words frame bottles, vintages, and a power place: not as branding, but as production waiting to be judged in glass. That is the practical language of wine work, where the timeline matters as much as the label.

Signature

Thomas's signature wines include Cicero DER MATTMANN Pinot Noir 2010. The label is direct, and the vintage anchors it to a specific year without excess explanation. Pinot Noir asks for restraint in the cellar and attention in the glass, which makes it a fitting marker for a wine intended to stand on its own terms.

In Their Words “I will then be very happy to accept reservations for the first roughly 500 bottles starting in December 2016.” “I hope that from this power place, in 2015, they will give us a truly powerful wine, the first vintage.”
