THE COMPANY
Cantina Kaltern is a historic cooperative representing the entire municipality and its wine producers. It is the voice of the wines that originate near Lake Caldaro and, in particular, of the Kalterersee (Schiava) variety. These are typical bottles produced by a large community with sensitivity, passion, and expertise: fine, complex, and wonderfully easy to love. The winery, which has its roots in the distant 1900, took more than a century to become what it is now and what it represents: professionalism, passion, sense of belonging, experience, and high-quality standards. Today it is one of the most important realities in South Tyrol, and the same wine-growing municipality of Caldaro, the most well-known and loved in the region, is proud of its reputation. In this small patch of land, wine is the great protagonist of the community's life: it has provided and continues to provide work, fills the inhabitants and farmers with pride, and is for many residents a full-time professional commitment pursued with great passion in many different fields, whether among the vineyards, in the cellar, in gastronomy, or in commerce.
Cantina Kaltern is a large family with 650 winegrower members, most of whom own less than one hectare of land (on average 0.7 hectares, which corresponds to a football field), for a total of 450 hectares. They are passionate and loving winemakers, earning a living by practicing other professions, and they indulge in the art of winemaking during their free time. Part of the captivating charm of Kaltern certainly comes from this.

They are the result of great sensitivity, passion, and the use of cutting-edge techniques.
