 We are not 'winemakers' says Alois Lageder, descendant of a family that has devoted itself to wine for four generations. Instead, he describes his work and his passion in the following terms.We see our role more accurately as midwives and educators. Our duty is to bring our grapes into the world in good health with the greatest possible care, and to encourage the successful development of our wines at all stages. The Lageder family has been active in the wine trade for more than 150 years. The great-great-grand-father of the present head of the firm, by profession a coach and wheel maker, began to provide wine for his customers in the surrounding mountain valleys, as well as beyond the region's borders. In 1855 his son founded the ALOIS LAGEDER winery on the edge of Bolzano's historic centre. Local consumers quickly appreciated the enterprise for its careful selection and quality-conscious processing of grapes. Over the years, through the untiring efforts of four generations, the Lageder family has succeeded in purchasing several vineyards and wine estates in some of Alto Adige's best wine-growing areas. Today the company is managed by Alois Lageder (born in 1950). He is actively assisted by his sister Wendelgard, who is responsible for administration and public relations and his brother-in-law Luis von Dellemann, the enologist. Our strong connection with nature, with the soil and with the local people - adds Alois Lageder - helps us in this arduous but rewarding work. Visit the Alois Lageder website. |
