From this winery
  • Start up year: 1998
  • Oenologist: Hannes Mair
  • Bottles produced: 60.000
  • Hectares: 7
Viticulture has been practised at the Bessererhof estate in Fiè allo Sciliar since the late 1950s. At first, they simply delivered grapes to private wineries in and around Bolzano. Then, towards the end of the 1980s, they switched to producing their own wines and selling them to the estate. Due to the increasingly stringent controls in the wine sector, they started to renovate the wine cellar and warehouses. The wine production and bottling areas were renovated in accordance with legal regulations.

The 1998 harvest was the first to be vinified and marketed entirely by Otmar and Rosmarie Mair, who constitute the fourth generation of winegrowers at the Bessererhof estate. The first varieties, Pinot Bianco and Schiava, are still part of the Bessererhof Estate's wine assortment today. Currently, the product range comprises ten wines.

In 2013, work began on renovating the farm building under the direction of architect Theodor Gallmetzer. The 2014 harvest could already be vinified, bottled and stored in the new building. In 2015, a tasting room with a sales outlet was added. By now, the fourth and fifth generations of the Mair family already run the Bessererhof estate in Fiè allo Sciliar together. Their son Hannes is mainly responsible for growing the grapes and harvesting the grapes by working in the vineyards, his father Otmar is in charge of vinification and bottling, and his mother, Rosmarie, is in charge of administration and wine sales.

Currently, a total of 50,000 to 60,000 bottles of various red and white wines are bottled at the estate. The assortment consists of ten wines and includes the following varieties: Pinot blanc, Pinot blanc Riserva 'Fellis', Muscat yellow, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Kerner, Sauvignon, Chardonnay Riserva 'Fellis', Zweigelt ('Roan') und Zweigelt Rosé 'Roansé'.
