The appellation: Alto Adige DOC

Alto Adige DOC (Südtirol DOC in German) is one of the most prestigious and best-known appellations in Italy for the production of top-quality white and red wines. Established in 1975, this DOC covers the entire winegrowing territory of the autonomous province of Bolzano and forms a mosaic of micro-areas and grape varieties, characterised by varying altitudes, wide temperature swings and complex soils. The strength of Alto Adige DOC lies in its extraordinary variety and in its ability to express freshness, elegance and aromatic precision, in both whites and reds.

Who makes it: Haderburg

Haderburg was born in 1977, when Alois Ochsenreiter turned a fruit farm into a winery, with the ambition of becoming a producer of bottled wines, leaving behind his past as a simple farmer. From that insight grew an estate committed to biodynamics, which over the decades has evolved thanks to his children Erika and Hannes, an agronomist and a cellarmaster respectively, who rigorously carry forward the dialogue between land, vineyard and territory.
