Consorzio per la Tutela dei Vini dell'Alto Adige

The Consortium for the Protection of the South Tyrol Wines was established in October of 2007.



Currently there are 155 participating companies, which produce a total of more than 99 percent of the South Tyrol DOC wines. The members of the Consortium are part of the three associations that collect the South Tyrolean producers, ie the cooperative wineries, winemakers and independent vinegrowers. From their ranks the ten members of the Board of Directors are periodically elected.



The consortium aims to create a common platform on which all of the wineries can discuss and defend their interests, but at the same time also wants to give a hitting unified voice to all operators in the sector.



For its operational activities the board of directors boasts groups of internal and external experts, who help the consortium investigating relevant issues, such as the legislation on wine, policies in the sector or the promotion of wine. In addition, the Consortium works closely with the League of Direct Farmers, the Advisory Centre for Fruit Farming, the Agriculture Division of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, EOS, the South Tyrol Marketing Society, and other organizations.



With the launch of the Law Decree of 3rd December 2009, the Consortium has received official recognition, thus acquiring an institutional rank and the opportunity to make submissions to the Chamber of Commerce, to the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and to the State.

Consorzio Volontario Per La Tutela Della Produzione Del Vino Santa Maddalena

To promote the compliance with the provisions of law contained in the product specification, the Consortium of winemakers, existing since 1923, in 1978 was transformed into the Voluntary Consortium for the Protection of the Santa Maddalena Wine Production.

The tasks of the Consortium continues to be the maintenance of the characteristics of the Santa Maddalena DOC, the control of its quality, as well as the consolidation and promotion of sales. Currently, 200 growers in the production area are members of the consortium.

Francesco Poli

We are located in Santa Massenza, in the heart of the Lakes Valley halfway between Trento and Riva del Garda, a small village with a great tradition of making wine and distillates.

It is among the hills that surround the lakes of Santa Massenza and Toblino where vineyards are situated, cultivated with organic farming, which give rise to our wines.

Immediately after the harvest the best vinasse is chosen, that without pressing are distilled slowly in bain marie with the typical Trentino system, slow and expensive, but that allows to obtain a very delicate distillate that preserves the aromas and fragrances of the grapes of origin. Beyond the provincial boundaries, our products can be found in the best restaurants and wine bars.

Maso Bastie

The company has been owned for generations by the Torelli family, located in the municipality of Volano, in the province of Trento, in an area particularly suited to wine production. The plots of the company extend in an area of ​​14 hectares fully planted with vineyards at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level.

Cantina d'Isera

In 1907, when the Trentino region still underlay the Hapsburg Empire, in Isera the namesake cooperative winery was constituted. Founded by the will of the winegrowers in the area, the D’Isera Winery already collected precious grapes of the basaltic hills of Isera, first of all those of Marzemino. Today, over 200 members, on an area of ​​230 hectares, give each vintage an average of 25,000 quintals of selected and valuable grapes. Good wine is made in the countryside: this is one of the maxims to which the D’Isera Winery adheres firmly.



From the choice of the new plants to the systematic control of the whole cycle of vegetation, all followed and strictly controlled in order to obtain a healthy and high quality wine production. Under the guidance of expert winemakers, the D’Isera Winery gives its excellent wine grapes supplied by the members, expertly balancing the benefits of new technologies and the wisdom of ancient traditions.

Quality does not accept compromises, represents for D’Isera Winery an imperative, a commitment to the consumer and the guarantee of being able to enjoy, appreciate and love the wines created from the passion of men and from the generosity of the hill of Isera.

Falkenstein

Winery Estate Falkenstein is a family-owned winery that is dedicated to producing high-quality wines using traditional methods. Their vineyards are carefully tended to, and their grapes are hand-picked and sorted to ensure only the best make it into their wines. They offer a wide range of varietals and blends, each with its own unique flavor profile. The winery also has a stunning estate and tasting room, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors are invited to come and taste their wines, take a tour of the winery, and learn about the history and methods behind their winemaking.

J. Hofstätter

Wanting to make an appraisal on the last ten years, I can say that the peculiar character of the vineyards and the local varieties is reflected in our wines.

At the Hofstätter estate, the most known varieties of South Tyrol are grown. In effect, with no doubt, we have the privilege of giving our name to vineyards located on both sides of the river Adige.

And the work in the vineyards leads me continually to new challenges: decades of monoculture have exhausted the soil, have took life away from it, that life the vine needs to stay healthy and to develop in all their strength. And it is exactly that strength that they need, today more than ever, for the alternating of extreme weather conditions.

Lately, the word "terroir" is used as a slogan, as if it were a fixed size, but that is actually subjected to changes which the winemaker must take into account well in advance in his work between the rows. You have to understand, respect and harmonize all the elementary preconditions for the growth of a vine of excellence, unique and full of character.

Only in this way you will get even better grapes from a vineyard that has already been giving a good product for a long time. I am already working on it, without knowing the details first, on how we can better address the ecological challenges at the global level from a small living reality like a vineyard.

Kellerei Kaltern

The Winery of Caldaro, founded in 1906, is an association of 450 farmers with a cultivable area of about 300 hectares, and belongs to the most important companies of quality in South Tyrol and in Italy. Its members manage the heart of the Alto Adige wine area around Lake Caldaro.

Among the estates, two vineyards of Pfarrhof and Castel Giovanelli stand out, as well as wines produced in classified areas (Lagenweine). To apply the philosophy of quality we take voluntarily is both a mission and a stimulus. The ambition of our peasants is to get the most valuable pressed grapes beyond the established quality. For the wines produced in other territories, winemakers are no longer just suppliers of grapes, but also participate in the work in the cellar, in the tastings in progress and in the decisions regarding further developments, thus becoming producers of wines.

Vilàr

Stubbornness and commitment belong to the philosophy of this company, that combines tradition and innovation both in the vineyard and in the winery. Luigi Spagnolli is the oenologist of the company but he likes to be defined as a vinegrower, because his work in the vineyard involves him particularly. Vallagarina is the natural place where we grow with great attention our vineyards. In the old town of Villa we opened a small venue where you can taste or buy our wines.
