Erste + Neue Alto Adige, Italy
The Erste+Neue story starts in 1900 the year that marked an important milestone in the history of the wine economy of Kaltern: seventy wine growers in Kaltern united to form the “Erste Kellereigenossenschaft”, Kaltern’s first wine co-operative. In 1925 followed another important step: the establishment of the “Neue Kellereigenossenschaft”, the new wine co-operative. The merger of these two co-operatives by Baron Josef di Pauli co-operative in 1991 saw the formation of the “Erste + Neue Kellereigenossenschaft” wine co-operative in Kaltern.
Today, some 500 dedicated wine producers with 280 hectares under vine bring their harvests to the winery each year. The terraced vineyards of the co-operative’s members are picturesquely situated around Lake Kaltern and on the plateau at the foot of the Mendel Mountain.
