Alpine wines from Valle Isarco
The Köfererhof estate dates back to the year 976 and counts as one of the oldest wineries in South Tyrol. Today, white wines exuding unmistakable elegance and minerality are produced here, which are both typical and unique to the Valle Isarco wine-growing region. With vineyards covering a total area of 6 hectares, we are a small but superior winery specializing in the vinification of excellent white wines. The high altitude of our terraced vineyards (located at between 650 to 700m above sea level) as well as the natural and climatic conditions offer many challenges: harsh mountain climate, extreme temperature differences between day and night, and long winters resulting in slower ripening times. The hard work pays off, however, since these are optimal conditions for our seven white grape varieties to mature into fresh, juicy characterful wines.
Winemaking brilliance, passion, and craftsmanship
Today, the Köfererhof is family run by the third generation - a small, unbeatable team comprising winemaker and muse, cellarmaster and marketing expert, professional taster and wine lover: Günther and Gaby Kerschbaumer. Wine is our greatest passion. We set high standards and are dedicated to producing exquisite wines incorporating a deep sense of craftsmanship. Working with and surrounded by nature, the unique microclimate and the mineral soils which give our vines so much expressiveness, our home Valle Isarco, the magical aura of the Dolomites and not forgetting our wines themselves, which reflect all of this put together – this is what our heart beats for.
From grape to glass
We fully appreciate the amazing potential that nature offers us. This is what we draw on and what drives us to improve to continue producing excellent wines year after year. Our cellar is the heart of the winery. This is where our work in the vineyard culminates. The hand-picked grapes are carefully processed and the typicity and character of each variety is worked out. Inspirational first-class wines are created here: top-quality Alpine white wines from Valle Isarco.
