Montan, Südtirol, Italien

About the Winery

In Montan, in the sunny Etschtal Valley, the vineyards of Weingut RADOIN 1560 lie at elevations between 400 and 550 meters, where nature-oriented cultivation methods have proven successful from the very outset. The use of wire-frame training, careful maintenance throughout the year, selective hand-picking of grapes and purposefully low yields per hectare, all contribute to the production of healthy, high-quality grapes resulting in this winery’s exquisite vintages.

The Winery

Dating back to the 15th century, the name Radoin 1560 represents the current location in Radein (Italian: Redagno) and its elevation at 1560 meters above sea level. It is also here that Hotel Der Zirmerhof is situated. Proprietor and host Sepp Perwanger has created the highest winery in Europe by transforming the Zirmerhof's former garage, which for many decades merely housed the estate's off-road vehicle, into an actual winery. In the course of renovations within the historic walls, the characteristic porphyry stone from the region was successfully integrated, comfortable accesses were created, while contemporary lighting ensures the ideal ambiance.
