Colterenzio is a cooperative of 300 winegrowers in Alto Adige with a philosophy of high quality produce but also working in harmony with nature. State of the art architecture and technology in the cellar means they operate sustainably and we are, to a great extent, energy self-sufficient. A photovoltaic power station now covers 55% of the energy requirements of the cellar, where most of our machinery and computers are used. Through solar panels and heat recovery systems, they meet 70% of their hot water requirements. Traditional varieties of the St. Magdalena sub region; Schiava and Lagrein are traditionally grown together. This east facing vineyard sees them neighboured on soils of eroded quartz-porphyry mixed with sand and clay.
