Cantina Bolzano, whose history begins in 1908, is today one of the most important wineries in Alto Adige and represents one of Italy’s leading enterprises in terms of quality and originality. It is a matter of course that the Cantina Bolzano nurtures its vines in a natural and environmentally conscious manner, carefully tending the soil and reducing yields in the vineyard. The 220 farmers of Cantina Bolzano cultivate 350 hectares (864 acres) of excellent vineyards around Bolzano at altitudes of between 200 and 900 metres (656-2952 feet) above sea level, in and around the areas of Gries, Santa Maddalena, Santa Giustina, Coste and on the slopes of the Renon.
