The wines produced in the Agrarian Institute were created from a deep understanding of the interactions between the environment, the soil and the vine, and Edmund Mach, founder in 1874 of the structure, was firmly convinced about that and said: «no wine of quality is fruit of chance, but of a synergy between land, the art of the winery and man».
The phrase stands on the bottles as everlasting memory. The winery is housed in the old Augustinian monastery inside the castle of San Michele. The cultivated land, instead, are property of the Autonomous Province of Trento and of the De Bellat Foundation, which have sold them to the farm respectively on a free extended loan and rent. On these grounds, the company cultivates grapes and apple trees with not only productive aims, but also experimental, of teaching and demonstration. But, in addition to producing good wines, the Edmund Mach Foundation has become a real fixture, a great training center from which a large number of oenologists, now widely established, learned the rudiments. Regarding the production in this edition, we are facing a transient vintage, maybe. Many wines are still in aging, lacking the two of the Monastery, white and red, Trento Riserva Mach and other wines from a single grape variety. In full swing, and very prolific, is the activity of distillation: waiting for the wines you can enjoy a large selection of brandies and other spirits.
