A partir de la ferme

The Weissenhof in Vilpian is an old farm that has been growing apples for over 700 years. The production of apple juice began in 1984, rather by chance for family needs. First the neighbors were also interested, then various bars and hotels in the area. Today the naturally turbid apple juice is sold beyond the country's borders. The range has been expanded to include various apple-fruit juices, vinegar and the apple-mulled mix, popular in winter. The production facilities were refined and adapted to the times. Only hand-picked apples are used for the apple juice, no windfalls. The juice is gently pasteurized, not filtered and is free from additives.

"Family-run ’Tschaup‘ farm lies at 450m above sea level in the sunny Unterland area. Lots of fruit and berries thrive here, which then get turned into delicious fruit jams, cordials and sauces. High-quality honey is also produced on the farm. ”Bees play an important role for the natural world and the environment and make excellent-quality honey” stresses Klaus Jageregger, a keen farmer and beekeeper."

The soil is the origin. The maintenance of his natural fertility and vitality is a duty. The production of wines - as natural as possible - is the goal. - Patrick Uccelli

In our family-run tenuta we work according to the guidelines of Bioland and Demeter. The bio-dynamic principles, the farm animals and beneficial insects accompany us through the seasons.

At the Turmbachhof in Appiano (built around 1190 and formerly the residence of the court clerk), our family has been involved for nine generations in the production and processing of foodstuffs, which originally came mainly from the cultivation of our own land. The wine, for example, has always been pressed from the own grapes. A mother of vinegar was made with particular care in porphyry, which gave the vinegar a special vitality. In 1966, Alfons Walcher built a distillery at the Turmbachhof, whose products today are distributed successfully in five continents. Committed to the tradition of superior taste and following their professional passion, in 2017 the Walcher brothers decided to set up their own gourmet food factory in Caldaro. The aim of the new branch is reviving old recipes with new technology and expressing the unique taste of South Tyrol‘s South. In order to achieve this goal, the family relies above all on organically grown raw materials and gentle processing avoiding any additives.

The fruit cooperative frubona Obstgenossenschaft Terlan originally arises from six cooperatives in the Bozen-Etsch Valley area. It has existed in its present form since 2010. 426 members cultivate a total of 1,154.55 ha of net area. In the shop you can buy apples.

The history of the Psenner Distillery is indelibly characterised by that of the company's founder, Ludwig Psenner, born in 1920 in the famous South Tyrolean wine village of Tramin, the place which has given its name to the world's favourite aromatic grape variety, Gewürztraminer. Ludwig Psenner's life story is one of a straightforward and sincere man who emanated a catching vigour. At an early age he threw himself into the craft of distilling, delving into the recondite processes and mysteries involved. Then at the age of 27 he founded his own distillery, installing his first bain marie still.

The estate lies at the heart of the Lagrein and Pinot Nero area in the historic village centre of Auer: it is run by Clemens Waldthaler, the seventh generation of his family to do so. The high quality of the wines is the result of the consistent quality philosophy applied both in the vineyard and the cellar. 30% of production is represented by white wines such as Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, while the rest is made up of red wines, such as Pinot Nero, Lagrein, Merlot, and Cabernet. The best of the Lagrein, Merlot and Cabernet grapes are vinified and bottled under the RAUT brand, a registered trademark.

The Franz Haas Wineryhas endeavoured to show the wines it produces always in the best light. It was established in 1880 and has been handed down through the generations up to now to a Franz Haas. Around 55 vine-planted hectares are worked, subdivided among owners, renters and assignees.Franz Haas has always been recognised as a great enthusiast and cultivator of themost difficult vine, one that is the most sensitive and repays the greatest: the Pinot Nero. Not withstanding all the attention, the brainpower, the work, the product isn’t always at the same level as its origins, so the selection oft he Pinot Noir, called „Schweizer“, isn’t always put on the market.
