Girlan
A brief history
Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then, 23 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. Today, about 200 greatly committed and motivated winegrowers and their families farm an area covering about 220 hectares of vineyards.
The main part of the grapes grows in Girlan between 450-500m a.s.l. on this morainic hill with volcanic porphyry (acid soils). Here, we grow our Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Chardonnay as well as Vernatsch in the cru Gschleier.
The other important origin of our wines is Mazon, considered as the most valuable cru for Italian Pinot Noir and home of big part of our Pinot Noirs. It is located 20 km south of Girlan, on 400m a.s.l. with calcareous and clayey soils and western exposure.
The grapes, entirely hand-harvested, are received according to a precise harvest calendar and gently processed according to their quality, variety and origin. Cantina Girlan produces three distinct wine lines:
Solisti • Flora • Vigneti • Classici
