LA FOA LINE
Lafóa: from the pilot vineyard to the flagship wines
The name Lafóa evokes the beginning of the qualitative revolution in South Tyrol and the pioneering work carried out by Cantina Colterenzio in the 1980s. At that time, the pioneer Luis Raifer on the eponymous vineyard not only planted new grape varieties but also introduced new quality standards: lower yields per grape and higher quality wine. It was precisely on this pilot vineyard that the “Lafóa idea” was born: the introduction of new quality standards that are still rigorously followed today by both the wine-growing members and the collaborators in the winery. Today, Lafóa is synonymous with whites and reds with a strong structure, refined, and with a great aging potential.
THE WINE
The Cabernet Sauvignon Linea Lafòa from Colterenzio comes from a vineyard that produces wines with a distinctive character, significant structure, and pronounced elegance. The Lafóa undergoes aging in both new and used oak barriques for a duration of 18 months. It has great aging potential.
THE COMPANY
Archduke Sigismund, residing at Castel Firmiano in the 15th century, was not the first to appreciate the fine wine of Colterenzio. Indeed, as early as around 15 BC, the Roman colonist Cornelius recognized the extraordinary fertility of this land and decided to settle here, thus laying the foundations for the current winemaking vocation of Colterenzio. His estate "Cornelianum," which gave its name to the village of Cornaiano, stood on a hill not far away. The ancient tradition was renewed in 1960 when 28 winemakers founded the Cantina Colterenzio. Others joined over the years, and today Colterenzio boasts nearly 300 passionate wine-growing members who deliver grapes from approximately 300 hectares of vineyards owned by them.
