“Riff” Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC 2023 (BIO)
The RIFF project is a cooperation between Alois Lageder and local winegrowers in the Veneto region, where the grapes also thrive in selected vineyards. Since the 2018 vintage, the popular RIFF Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is not only certified organic, but has also been given a new look by Austrian artist Nanna Prieler. On the label, segments of stylised ammonites tell the story of the formation of the mountain landscape on which the vines for the Pinot Grigio RIFF now stand: From the ocean with its coral reefs to the unique terroir in which many fossils of former ocean dwellers can still be discovered today.
Bright light yellow with greenish shimmer. The aroma is finely fruity, floral-mineral with delicate notes of tropical fruits. On the palate, RIFF Pinot Gris is precise, lively and fresh, with a medium body and a harmonious finish. A perfect companion to light Mediterranean dishes or simply solo on the balcony or terrace.

“Römigberg” Vernatsch Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022 (BIO)
A spectacular steep slope rises above the north-western shore of Lake Kaltern, one of the best vineyards in the area. Classic and Demeter-certified Vernatsch from South Tyrol: Pronounced, very fruity aroma of red berries and cherries. Round, balanced flavour, medium body, fresh finish with fine tannins and a pleasant bitter almond note. SUPERIORE.DE
"From the Lageder family’s 8ha Römigberg estate above Lake Caldaro, where pergola-trained Schiava grapes are farmed biodynamically. The fruit is fermented partly in large wooden barrels, partly in stainless steel, and with some extended skin contact. A pale bright garnet colour, the nose is rosy and smoky with notes of pomegranate and cranberry over intense, spicy notes of cinnamon and clove. It has a juicy, ripe and supple palate yet with underlying firmness and good balance with lovely acidity, finishing with notes of plum and woodsmoke. Delicious." Decanter

“XV” Merlot Vigneti delle Dolomiti DOC 2020 (BIO)
South of Margreid lies the "15er" vineyard, which is characterised by deposits from the Fenner stream and the Adige river and has been planted largely with Merlot vines since 1957. Its location enjoys particularly good aeration thanks to the warm wind from Lake Garda, the Ora, which gives the wine a delicate structure and great finesse. Cherry red in colour with a ruby red sheen. Impressive bouquet of concentrated fruit, pepper and vegetal notes. The body is pleasantly medium-bodied, precise and balanced, with a fine bittersweet flavour and convincing freshness. SUPERIORE.DE

The name "Conus" comes from the Latin term for cone and refers to the Margreider Schuttkegel and its gentle slopes. The dolomitic limestone present there is an important prerequisite for the fruity and round character of this impressive red in Riserva quality. Cherry red with ruby reflexes. Intense bouquet of plum, liquorice and cocoa. In the body powerful, precise and balanced, then in the final beautiful tannins, a sympathetic juiciness and nice length. SUPERIORE.DE

Here comes Surmont, the successor to Rain Riesling. As in the past, part of the grapes come from the South Tyrolean lowlands, while the other part now comes from the Valle Isarco from high and cool sites on soils of volcanic origin, which give the wine a fresher, almost alpine style.
Bright, straw-yellow colour with a slight greenish tinge. Clean, distinct, fragrant varietal aroma with fine fruity notes (peach, pear). Balanced, medium-bodied. Fresh, juicy finish. The racy acidity is harmoniously integrated into the fruit structure. A wonderful Riesling italico in a small edition. SUPERIORE.DE

“Gaun” Chardonnay Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022 (BIO)
Bright, straw-yellow colour with a slight greenish tinge. Delicately fruity, fragrant aroma typical of the variety with notes of ripe tropical fruit. Balanced, medium-bodied and clean flavour. Fresh, lively acidity and a marvellous finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Fragrant and well flavoured, with a broad palate sensation that finds a fine harmony with the bright, lively acidity. Flavours of yellow pear, persimmon, orange peel and dried herbs, as well as rich hints of honey and praline. The finish is lingering and shows a clean, savoury note." Wine Spectator
"This wine strikes a terrific balance between primary fruit and integrated oak. You get a fresh and contemporary interpretation of the versatile Chardonnay grape that is nothing like the heavier wines you may remember from just a few years back. The 2022 Chardonnay Gaun is bright and luminous. Its creamy texture is layered with lemon meringue pie, peachy mousse and golden apple. There is a ripe, slightly candied quality (from the hot vintage) that is well synchronized, with almond biscuit, pie crust and baking spice." Wine Advocate

“Versalto” Pinot Bianco Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2022 (BIO)
Since the 2020 vintage, Haberle has been called Versalto and is certified organic. Diversity as a focus: Versalto is characterised by geological, microclimatic and cultural contrasts. Its grapes come from the Haberlehof farm in Buchholz on the eastern side of the Adige Valley and from the opposite vineyards in Penon above Margreid. Both vineyards are located at an altitude of around 500 metres and guarantee optimal conditions for the variety.
Bright light yellow colour. Fine, distinctly fruity apple and peach bouquet with a very subtle hint of wood. Clean, elegant flavour, balanced structure and harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is a highly versatile wine both in terms of its approachable drinking style and its affordable price tag. The 2022 Pinot Bianco Versalto shows crisp aromas of unripe pear and orchard-fresh apple. The primary fruit is followed by tea biscuit and macadamia nut. Versalto reveals a very crisp and direct personality, thanks to lees aging in stainless steel and oak barrel. This release definitely showcases that luminous and crisp Dolomitic quality that you want to see in an Alto Adige white." Wine Advocate

Bright, straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections. Pronounced, rich, somewhat smoky varietal aroma, fine woody spice. Clean, fruity, powerful flavour. Round, full-bodied flavour. Fresh final with a long, spicy aftertaste. For us, one of the most fascinating Pinot Gris wines in South Tyrol every year. SUPERIORE.DE
"Showing a copperish color, the Alois Lageder 2022 Pinot Grigio Porer offers an extra hint of crunchiness, thanks to some minimal white wine tannin. The aromas veer towards grape skin, apricot and poached pear, and you can almost taste the waxy bloom on the skins. This wine stands somewhere at the crossroads of a Ramato and a natural wine, stylistically speaking." Wine Advocate

“Fragment” Sauvignon Bianco Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2023 (BIO)
The Lageder family now only makes one Sauvignon Bianco, and it belongs to the "Compositions" line. It gets its complexity from the wide variety of different clones in the vineyards. The majority of these lie at an altitude of over 400 metres and are based on limestone soil on the one hand and volcanic weathered rock on the other. The different source rocks and the variety of vines gave the Lageders the name of the wine. This is because it consists of fragments from the best organic and biodynamic vineyards, which are married to form a whole. Its salinity and crisp freshness are highly drinkable and make this fresh and sublime South Tyrolean Sauvignon Blanc a very special experience. SUPERIORE.DE

A breath of fresh air at what is probably South Tyrol's best-known winery. With Alois Clemens Lageder as managing director, the sixth generation has entered the almost two-hundred-year-old family winery. He is supported by his two sisters Anna and Helena, who are responsible for events, marketing and sales. Alois Clemens Lageder studied sociology and economics. After various stations at home and abroad, where he deepened his education in viticulture and oenology, he joined the family business in 2015. Here he is now continuing what his father Alois - who is considered a pioneer in biodynamics - started: He is gradually converting the farm to biodynamic farming. Nothing will change in terms of quality; on the contrary, there is probably no more successful biodynamic winery for miles around.
In practice, this means doing without chemical-synthetic plant protection and using preparations and homeopathic teas as aids. It also includes the winery working closely with farmers from the region who bring their cows, cattle and sheep to graze in Alois Lageder's vineyards during the autumn and winter months. This revives the old tradition of transhumance. It helps to increase the vitality of the vines and the biodiversity in the vineyard. In the meantime, the family farms a good 55 hectares biodynamically and the expressed goal is to motivate all of the approximately 80 winemaker partners from all over South Tyrol to convert to the biodynamic method of cultivation by 2024.
The historical roots go back six generations to Johann Lageder, who laid the foundation stone for today's company in Bolzano in 1823. His successors began to press wine themselves and bought the first vineyards. The most successful was Alois III, who in 1934 acquired the Löwengang estate in Margreid, the southernmost tip of the South Tyrolean Wine Route, and motivated numerous winegrowers to supply him with grapes. In the mid-1970s, Alois Lageder took over the winery with his sister and brother-in-law Luis v. Dellemann and led it to success with his strict quality thinking. He always relied on cooperation with friendly winegrowers.
In 1995, the new cellar building was constructed according to the most modern building biology methods and with renewable energy from water, geothermal energy and solar systems and became a showcase model. Collaboration with artists became inspiration and the winery became an event location.
Alois Lageder's assortment is as diverse as the sites in the Etschtal, which was once a huge glacier that cut a swathe southwards from the Alps and Dolomites, bringing with it all kinds of rock. From volcanic porphyry to granite and quartz, fossilised coral from a primordial sea to gravel, clay and loam, there is everything here. "If you plant the right grape varieties in the right locations, not much can go wrong," said Alois Lageder with a smile. Cold winds from the mountains alternate with warm breezes from the south, the ventilation and the temperature differences are ideal. Warm days, cool nights and moderate rainfall are the secret of success throughout South Tyrol. Here in the southernmost part, of course, even more so. And even though Lageger's portfolio comprises about 80% white wines, two red wines are responsible for its worldwide reputation, in addition to the Chardonnay "Löwengang". The Cabernet Sauvignon "Cor Römigberg" and the Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) "Krafuss" have become cult wines and are part of South Tyrol's success story, even part of Italy's wine story.
Since 2017, Alois Clemens has taken another very creative step with the birth of KOMETEN. It is the name for wines made from mostly very rare grape varieties or grape varieties that are no longer indigenous to South Tyrol or not at all, in very small editions that embody the joy of experimentation, innovation and the play with components. He describes the exciting project as follows: "Some KOMETEN burn out and are discarded again, while others can become fixed stars and independent wines of the range. Each of the KOMETS is unique, almost like a fingerprint, and the labels of each bottle are individually designed: A comet's tail, painted on with a finger."
The Alois Lageder Winery is one of the 24 wineries worldwide to be awarded the "Robert Parker Green Emblem" in 2021. This certification is awarded by one of the most important international wine critics' media: Robert Parker's "Wine Advocate". This rare distinction is only awarded to producers who are committed to sustainability, long-term environmental protection and biodiversity. Once a winery has received the award, all of its wines will bear the coveted "Robert Parker Green Emblem". SUPERIORE.DE
"It would be impossible to overstate the influence of Alois Lageder. His courage and dedication made an impact across Italian wine, inspiring dozens or perhaps hundreds of vintners to follow suit." Robert Parker
