Cantina Kaltern has a long history It took more than a century for our winery to become what it is and what it stands for today: professionalism, passion, a shared community, experience and the highest quality standards Today, Cantina Kaltern is one of the principal wineries of Alto Adige, and Kaltern itself is proud of its reputation as the most popular and best-known wine village in the region. But Kaltern is not only a special corner of the world for wine lovers and connoisseurs from near and far; village life revolves around wine. Wine sets the stage here; it is a source of employment and also of pride for the villagers and wine growers

The history of Cantina Kaltern goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, a century that witnessed long, debilitating years of war and the separation of Alto Adige from Austria –but also the eventful history of Kaltern’s five wineries, including glorious days as official suppliers to the court in Vienna, economic crises and boom years, and also mergers and a consistent orientation on quality in wine-growing The result today is a winery cooperative with 650 members and 450 hectares of vineyards
