Founded in 1960, the Colterenzio winery is one of the youngest winegrowers’ cooperative in Alto Adige. In 1960, 26 winegrowers founded their own winery to be more independent – and named it after the hamlet they came from: Schreckbichl in German, Colterenzio in Italian. These winegrowers can be considered rebels but at the same time pioneers for right after the foundation of their own winery they were setting the course towards quality.
Today, 300 winegrowers together with the people working at Colterenzio continued this path. 
The winegrowers grow their grapes on a total of 300 hectares; the vineyards are located in one of the best wine growing areas of Alto Adige, on altitudes from 230 to 650 meters. 14 different varieties are cultivated. 35% of the wines at Colterenzio are red, 65% are white. The Colterenzio winery cares about the environment, not only in the vineyards, but also in the cellar. In the vineyard this means sustainable viticulture and handpicked grapes. In the winery itself most of the electric energy used in the winery is supplied by a photovoltaic installation, 100% of the electric power is certified green and 70% of hot water requirements is provided by solar panels and a heat recovery system.

Born in 1966. Lemayr frequented the High School for Agricultural Science in Alto Adige, followed by a 2-year training for wine technician in Germany. After his studies he returned to Alto Adige and worked in different positions in various wineries. Since 2005 he is the responsible winemaker at Colterenzio.

Rosé

Traditionally called Lagrein “Kretzer”, after a wickerwork sieve once used to separate the skins from the juice, this wine is one of the world’s finest rosés: full-bodied, unashamedly fruity, refreshing and with vibrant acidity.

Grown in cool, high-elevated vineyards, this delicately aromatic, early-ripening white variety has become an Alto Adige speciality. This wine reveals much of its Riesling parentage: pale yellow in colour, tinged with green nuances; fresh, flowery and gently aromatic on the nose, with a discreet hint of elderflower mingled with peach and Muscat; pleasantly citrusy and crisp on the palate.

The wine Pfefferer is named after the Pfefferer grape, a particular variety of the Muscat grape that in the Alto Adige dialect has always been called Pfefferer. Probably because the spicy aroma is reminiscent of pepper, since Pfeffer in German means pepper. 
The Pfefferer has delicate fruit aromas reminiscent of Muscat, youthful freshness – an excellent aperitif wine. The wine is unashamedly aromatic and elegant, dry, youthful and zesty with grapey fruit and lots of freshness.

Once the Vernatsch grapes become fully ripe in these sun-drenched sites the grape stalks become reddish in colour and local growers call them “Roatfiassler” (“red-legged”) in the local dialect. Hence the name.
