The Cabernet Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC produced by Hofstatter is a striking demonstration of the oenological possibilities this geographical area has to offer. Characterized by an ideal climate benefiting from the influence of the Alps and the tempered contributions of the Mediterranean, Hofstatter's Cabernet Sauvignon expresses remarkable complexity and a unique structure.
In the production of this wine, Hofstatter winery follows rigorous protocols starting with the careful selection of grapes from vineyards primarily located in the higher areas of the region. These vineyards have mineral-rich soil and a unique microclimate that emphasizes optimal berry maturation.
Visually, the wine presents an intense and brilliant red color, indicating good concentration. On the nose, intense and varied aromas of forest fruits, such as currants and blackberries, are enriched by hints of dark spices and a slight touch of vanilla, a result of aging in barriques. This also provides a well-balanced and velvety tannic structure in the mouth.
On the palate, Hofstatter's Cabernet Sauvignon is robust yet extremely harmonious; the acidity is well integrated and supports a long-lasting taste experience that ends with a pleasant sensation of ripe fruit and spices.
This wine is ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, grilled preparations, or rich dishes such as stews and braised meats. With its aging potential, the Cabernet Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC by Hofstatter can also be cellared for a few years, allowing it to evolve and develop new complexities.
A sublime example of how Cabernet Sauvignon can express its best in the alpine terroir, this wine is certainly destined to captivate lovers of structured and aromatically complex wines.

Winery history
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.
Production philosophy
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.
Terroir and vineyards
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.
Awards and recognitions
Some of the winery's wines and its crus have received recognition and ratings from the specialist press.
