[ENG] In the beginning: We do not look back on a long history, we are not a family company. We are one of the newest wineries in Alto Adige, and over 300 families work behind the winery scenes – some of them as a secondary occupation. They work year-round, and each autumn they deliver us their precious, hand-harvested grapes. The winegrowers grow their grapes on a total of 300 hectares; the vineyards are located in one of the best wine growing areas of Alto Adige, on altitudes from 230 to 650 meters. 14 different varieties are cultivated. 35% of the wines at Colterenzio are red, 65% are white. The Colterenzio winery cares about the environment, not only in the vineyards, but also in the cellar. In the vineyard this means sustainable viticulture and handpicked grapes. In the winery itself most of the electric energy used in the winery is supplied by a photovoltaic installation, 100% of the electric power is certified green and 70% of hot water requirements is provided by solar panels and a heat recovery system.
