TERRA ALPINA SELECTION
The project
The Alois Lageder Winery works together with wine-growing partners from the Dolomiti area to create fresh and vibrant wines that reflect their unique origin – the Dolomites. The landscape is at once Alpine and Mediterranean, cool and mild, composed of mountains and lakes, rugged rock edges and green hills. The terroir is breathtaking, captivating, and majestic.
TERRA ALPINA SELECTION
Wine growing
Together with our partners we work in a way that responds to nature with great care, curiosity, and respect. Our goal is to encourage these partners to convert to organic farming. We aim to be cultivating every TERRA ALPINA vineyard organically or biodynamically in the next few years.

Dolomites
In prehistoric times, a tropical sea lay where the towering Dolomites reach into the sky today. Colliding tectonic plates raised up atolls and volcanoes that were once submerged by a great ocean, resulting in colossal, rugged mountains – the Dolomites. To this day, layers of fossilized coral reefs can be found in the rocks. The mountains’ unique beauty led to their designation as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2009.
