Guarinoni Hippolytus

The imperial councillor and court physician Hippolytus Guarinoni zu Hoffberg und Volderthurn (1571-1654) was a town physician in Hall in Tyrol(Austria). As a representative of militant Catholicism, he was instrumental in the construction of the Karlskirche church in Volders and founded the anti-Semitic Anderl-von-Rinn cult. At the time, Kretzer wines were very popular, which were produced by immediate pressing and fermentation without mash (lightly pressed blanc de noirs). Guarinoni fought against this process with drastic and sometimes absurd accusations and disparagingly labelled the wine as a "heat-generating maleficent drink", a "sucking tug" and the "greatest filth on earth".
