Kellerei St. Pauls

Kellerei St. Pauls was founded as a social cooperative in 1907, by a small group of visionary farmers with a strong passion for wine. The cellar building was built in 1908 and for the time, it was already very cutting-edge: everything was moved by gravity, therefore without stressing the wine and also saving energy.
Over the decades, several members were added, giving the opportunity to purchase and make improvements to the machinery and the cellar itself.
Today there are over 200 members who share the passion for wine and who deliver the grapes under the name of Cantina San Paolo.
All the families of winemakers cultivate the vineyards with the utmost care and attention, mostly manually. There are approximately 185 total hectares distributed in the most renowned wine-growing areas of Alto Adige.
The terroir of each vineyard enhances natural biodiversity, furthermore they are positioned on hills with excellent exposure where the sun shines all year round and the hot days are mitigated by the fresh winds from the mountains; This set of factors allows us to achieve the production of excellent quality grapes.
The company’s values are based on basic but essential principles to bring production to completion and to its best advantage: community (sharing the experience of producing wine), awareness (attention for the environment in all aspects, social, economic and oenological) and courage (looking to the future and making decisions for changes).
To underline the attention to the environment, in all social, economic and oenological aspects, and to sustainability: tradition in fact merges with the most modern and efficient technologies in terms of machinery and equipment, as well as the reuse of resources such as water and heat.
A peculiarity is the presence of a bunker, built during the war in 1937, used for the production of sparkling wine, thanks to the perfect constant conditions of temperature and humidity.
St. Pauls is a winery that is constantly growing in terms of quality, the classics of Alto Adige produced with care and passion.
