The story
The winery traces its roots to the early 20th century: the company’s history began with cooperatives and small local wineries founded around 1900 and, through mergers over the course of the 20th century and in 2016, became the present-day Cantina Kaltern, which brings together hundreds of members and manages the vineyards around the lake.
Production philosophy
Collective production and connection to the territory: the cooperative values the work of its members, seeks quality and typicity linked to the lake's microclimate and the varying exposures of the vineyards, and focuses on sustainability in managing the vineyard landscape.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are spread around Lago di Caldaro, on alternating porphyritic and calcareous soils, with varied exposures and altitudes ranging from approximately 200 to 850 meters. An Alpine–Mediterranean influenced climate favors both aromatic white varieties and elegant reds.
