Winery - Cultural traditions of wine-growing in South Tyrol / Italy ~ Winery Nals Margreid

For generations, the intuition and professional expertise of the winegrowing families have merged into the Nals Margreid Winery’s living tradition and wine culture.

Winemaker

President

Kurt Wolfensberger"In our various vineyards, winegrowers have been manually and meticulously cultivating their grapes for generations. This is how we guarantee lasting top quality.”

Managing Director

Gottfried Pollinger“Our wines are exceptional thanks to passion and expertise. The challenge lies in revealing their uniqueness to the public.”

People

From a total of 395 acres of land, 138 winegrowers bring top quality grapes to the Nals Margreid Winery. Ecological awareness and a sense of quality influence their work and lead to the excellent harvests from which our remarkable wines arise. Together we create wines that express their territorial and varietal origin. Together we not only nurture, but continuously refine our traditions.

History

Developed over millennia, viticulture is deep-rooted in Italy’s northernmost winegrowing area, South Tyrol. As an important part of the South Tyrolean wine culture, our winery is keeping up tradition since 1932. Our winegrowers’ vineyards extend from Nals, a little town between Bozen and Meran (Merano), all the way to Margreid in the sunny, southern reaches of our region, allowing us to exploit a remarkable variety of terroirs and locations.

WINE ARCHITECTURE

Like the excellent wines produced by it, our winery, modernized in 2011, is an expression of the terroir. Thanks to the joining of historical structures and the high standards of modern wine production, a complex of buildings evolved, that perfectly expresses our qualities. Involving gravity in the production process, the wines are brought into existence as gently as possible. Hence, the evolution from grape to wine finds its natural process and culmination in our timeless cellars.
