Winery Tenuta J. Hofstätter

The winery has family origins: Josef and Maria Hofstätter began production in Termeno, and over the course of the 20th century management passed to family members and key figures such as Konrad Oberhofer. In the 1950s the winery was among the first in the area to bottle its own wine and to promote wines of defined origin. In the following decades the estate grew through marriages between winemaking families, acquisitions of farmsteads and vineyards, and extensive modernization from the 1990s under the leadership of Martin Foradori Hofstätter.

The approach is centered on origin: vinifying the grapes separately to convey the character of each vineyard. The "Vigna" classification encapsulates the commitment to zoning and the expression of terroir, together with an openness to winemaking innovation.

The vineyards extend along both banks of the Valle dell'Adige in the Bassa Atesina. The estate also cultivates plots in Trentino and has projects and vineyards in the Mosel/Saar region of Germany for Riesling.

Some of the winery's wines and its crus have received recognition and ratings from the specialist press.
