Tenutae Lageder

Alois Lageder is one of Italy's foremost winemakers. Based in the mountainous Alto Adige region in the far north of the country, the vines (which were converted to biodynamics in 2004) enjoy a long, sunny growing season with warm days and cool nights that help to preserve both the grapes' natural aromas and acidity. The wines themselves are made in a solar-powered state-of-the-art winery (which was certified carbon neutral in 2007). The house style is all about freshness, elegance and purity of fruit. These are finely chiselled wines with real definition, but immense charm too.

The Tenutae label represents wines produced from grapes grown exclusively within Lageder’s own estate, an estate biodynamically farmed, with as little intervention with the grapes as possible in the winery and cellars.
