Guido Folonari founded Winzerberg, a prestigious winery rooted in the heart of Alto Adige, one of Italy’s most renowned wine regions. Winzerberg embodies the perfect blend of tradition, terroir, and quality, brought together by five small Alto Adige growers. Each owns a distinct estate with unique terroirs, cultivating premium grapes that fully express the potential of Südtirol.
Alto Adige is celebrated for its ideal pedoclimatic conditions, featuring sunny summers, pronounced temperature variations, and diverse soils that enable the production of elegant, complex wines. Winzerberg carefully cultivates seven selected grape varieties: Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Kerner, Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Nero (Blauburgunder), and Lagrein. These varieties thrive in specific Alto Adige areas such as the Eisack Valley, Oltradige, Renon, and the Bolzano basin at altitudes between 400 and 800 metres. The differing soil types, exposures, and microclimates give each wine a strong sense of place, with intense aromas, great elegance, and balanced structure.
Winzerberg stands out for its artisanal vineyard care and the expert guidance of a passionate Alto Adige winemaker who oversees every production stage. The result is seven distinctive wines that truly capture the authentic spirit of Alto Adige, satisfying even the most discerning palates. Today, Winzerberg is recognised as a symbol of quality and authenticity, elevating Alto Adige’s tradition and terroir through wines of remarkable character and refinement.
The expertise of South Tyrol winegrowers, and the great talent of the renowned winemaker Stephan Filippi, have created seven different wines, which perfectly mirror the unique character of this prestigious wine region.
