Alois Lageder - Trentino-Alto Adige
Alto Adige is one of the smallest and most diverse of Italy’s wine-making regions. Alluvial dolomite soils have slow even ripening periods, up to 750 metres above sea level and the 300 days of sunshine per annum helps to produce the supreme freshness and elegance in the wines. The whole winery runs on solar energy and uses only certified biodynamic and organic products. With over 150 years pf producing wines, the Lageder family are known for their experience and excellence in wine making.
