Cantina Bolzano, South Tyrol's largest cooperative winery, represents a union of over 224 growers from 350 hectares of Bolzano's finest vineyards. Formed in 2001 by merging the historical Gries Winery (1908) and St. Magdalena Winery (1930), Cantina Bolzano combines traditional expertise with a youthful, visionary approach. Grapes are sourced across a variety of distinctive vineyard locations, ranging from 240 to 800 meters above sea level, utilizing both alluvial valley floors and sandy hillside soils. Their rigorous selection process and green cultivation methods yield high-quality grapes, resulting in a wide range of wines across their Classic, Election, and Riserva lines.

Pinot Grigio is one of Italy’s most prominent and notable white wines. In the subalpine climate of Alto Adige, the grapes develop slowly, achieving a perfect balance of ripe fruit while retaining the elevated acidity that defines this style. Crisp and clean, this highly approachable wine showcases intriguing notes of citrus and orchard fruits, revelling in it's well-preserved freshness that serves as a perfect palate cleanser.

Whether enjoying a glass on its own, or pairing alongside meals like sautéed mushroom risotto or grilled/baked seafoods, a wine style as versatile as this is ready to tackle any occasion.

About the Winery

Kellerei Bozen - Cantine Bolzano

Cantina Bolzano, based in the town of Bolzano, traces its roots to two of Alto Adige’s most historic cooperatives: Santa Magdalena, est. 1930 and Cantina Gries, est. 1908. After deciding to merge in 2001, Cantina Bolzano was created. Bolzano is located in the middle of a valley basin surrounded by hilly vineyards that grow from 200 meters above sea level up to 1000. North and south meet in this valley, and the sun warms the stony soils with its pronounced diurnal temperatures, protecting the vines from the cold.

The average growers’ plots in Sudtirol averages only approx. 1 hectare, and the area, with its famed reputation and steep slopes, is an expensive area to farm. The member of Bolzano (approx. 300 in all) own many of the best vineyards throughout the region, including the Valle Isarco, and pool their resources to create top quality wines. And while no grower is certified organic, many practice organic viticulture and all of them adhere to natural practices in their vineyards. Most growers have lived on their farms with their families for generations. They protect their land and cultivate their vineyards as they have done for generations with total respect of the environment where they live.

90 Points - John Szabo, MS

Deeply coloured for such a young wine, also very viscous and ripe on the nose, the heat of the 2022 vintage in Northern Italy comes through clearly in this wine. The palate is broad and fleshy, offering plenty of yellow-fleshed orchard fruit, ripe citrus and more in a concentrated expression, lingering nicely. It's not an easy-drinking, quaffable pinot grigio by any means, but a wine of depth and substance, best served at the table with equally high-intensity dishes, up to and including white meats, roast chicken and pork.
