Katharina Martini Sonnleiten Winery

In the heart of South Tyrol, on the sun-kissed southeastern slopes of the St. Magdalene hill in Bolzano, a young winery has taken shape—founded on passion, expertise, and a deep connection to the land. Here, where winemaking has been a family tradition for generations, a project has emerged that is rooted in history yet driven by a fresh, forward-looking vision.

The estate benefits from an exceptional location: during the day, the sun warms the soil and supports the ripening of the grapes; in the evening, a gentle Dolomite breeze flows down from the Rosengarten massif, lending finesse and aromatic depth to the wines.

With a solid education in agriculture from Bolzano and Vienna, the work in the vineyard and cellar is based on strong technical knowledge—paired with a constant desire to learn and grow. Every step, from vine to bottle, is carried out with care and attention, always in harmony with nature and the rhythm of the seasons.

The result is an authentic, terroir-driven range of wines that expresses not only the unique characteristics of St. Magdalene but also the energy and vision of someone who turned a lifelong passion into a profession.

“Wine has always been part of my life – now it has become my path”, says Katharina Martini.

A young winery – deeply rooted in tradition, yet open-minded, curious, and contemporary.
