Kellerei Kaltern is a historic cooperative that represents the entire municipality and its wine producers. It is the mouthpiece of the wines that are born near Lake Caldaro and, in particular, of the Kalterersee (Schiava) variety. These are typical bottles produced by a large community with sensitivity, passion and competence: fine, complex and wonderfully simple to love. The winery, which has its roots in the distant 1900s, took more than a century to become what it is now and what it represents: professionalism, passion, sense of belonging, experience and high quality standards. Today it is one of the most important realities in South Tyrol and the wine community of Caldaro itself, the best known and most loved in the region, is proud of its fame. In this small patch of land, wine is the great protagonist of the life of the community: it has given and still gives work, fills the inhabitants and farmers with pride and is a full-time professional commitment for many inhabitants, pursued with great passion in many areas. different, whether in the vineyards, in the cellar, in the gastronomy or in the trade.

They are winemakers out of passion and love, who earn their living exercising other professions and delight in the art of winemaking during their free time. Part of Kaltern's striking charm certainly comes from this.
