Estate
The youngest winery of note in Alto Adige, Cantina Valle Isarco was founded in 1961 at Maso Reinthaler. Unfortunately, the initial winery burnt down in 1962 and was then replaced by a new modern winery in 1975. The 135 members benefit from altitudes ranging from 300m – 1000m, excellent soils and climate for producing expressive wines with wonderful individual varietal character. For the most part, as a result of the steep slopes on which the vineyards lie, picking is almost entirely done by hand.
The Isarco Valley offers one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Alto Adige, with its majestic mountains dotted by alpine farmhouses, castles, monasteries, villages, magnificent chestnut groves and, above all, terraced vineyards enclosed within neat low stone walls. The people are accustomed to working the predominantly steep mountain slopes, tending their vineyards at heights of up to 950m. It is primarily, this variety that commands respect and keeps alive the valley people’s attachment to their unique natural surroundings.
