Producer history J. Hofstätter
Founded in the early 20th century by the Hofstätter family, the estate has grown as a historic family-run reality of Alto Adige. It is known for cultivating and vinifying vineyards on both sides of the Adige Valley and for the early adoption of the "Vigna" (single-vineyard) classification for its crus. The property has remained in family hands and today continues the production and sale of wines and local products.
Production philosophy
Valuing the territory and individual parcels: the estate emphasizes terroir expression through single-vineyard wines (Vigna) and careful selection of raw materials. The approach combines family tradition and enological innovation to tell the story of Alto Adige through its products.
Territory
Termeno/Tramin (BZ), Bassa Atesina, Alto Adige (Trentino-Alto Adige). The estate's vineyards extend across different slopes of the Adige valley and include notable sites such as Barthenau and Kolbenhof.
