Description

For a long time, Sauvignon, introduced towards the end of the 19th century from Bordeaux, was considered in South Tyrol to be a 'stubborn' white wine, disappointing the expectations of winemakers if grown in unsuitable areas. Especially in warm plains it tends to develop a broad body, lacking in the character.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1900
  • Oenologist: Othmar Donà
  • Bottles produced: 1.500.000
  • Hectares: 190
As one of the oldest wine cooperatives in Alto Adige, we look back on a long tradition. The esteem for our unique terroir, craftsmanship and inestimably valuable experience in the vineyard are handed down from generation to generation. In this way, 190 families form a strong team which still remains family oriented and down-to-earth.

Outstanding wine is made in the vineyard. That’s why we consider our members – who do the vineyard work – to be the protagonists. For generations, they have cultivated a special connection to their vineyards, and know every single grapevine. This invaluable knowledge, paired with the small structure of our winery, offers the best prerequisites for the production of unique, characterful wines.

Thanks to the 190 small-structured family farms that cultivate 190 hectares of vineyards in a sustainable way, we are able to select the best grape material for each individual location.

We, together with our 190 members, have committed ourselves to producing nature-oriented wines through a comprehensive policy of sustainibility. The goal: sustainability in all areas – from the work in the vineyard through to the final product. During the year, we are in continuous exchange with our members to advise and support. Sustainibility is also a topic in the cellars: continuing education and optimizing guarantee sustainably designed work methods.
