The story
Founded as a growers' cooperative in the Colterenzio/Schreckbichl area, the winery was established in 1960 by a group of local producers. In the years that followed, figures such as Luis Raifer drove a significant improvement in quality, initiating experiments on pilot vineyards that helped define the cooperative's identity and flagship selections.
Production philosophy
Teamwork among partners, careful vineyard selection and hand harvesting, reduced yields for premium selections, and a quality-focused approach. In recent years there has also been a clear commitment to sustainable practices and energy efficiency in the winery.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located around Colterenzio/Cornaiano/Appiano and nearby areas, at altitudes of approximately 230–650 metres; partly morainic soils and the typical Alto Adige microclimates favour fresh, well-structured white wines.
Awards and recognition
Among its principal accolades: the Sauvignon Riserva Gran Lafóa was awarded the 'Tre Bicchieri' and named 'Bianco dell'Anno' in the Vini d'Italia guide.
