Pasqua

The story of Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine began in 1925, when the first generation of the Pasqua brothers arrived in Verona with the aim of founding a company dedicated to the sale of wines from their homeland, Puglia. Within a few years, the brothers established a winery and began to acquire vineyards in the area surrounding Verona. With nearly a century of history producing and selling high quality Italian wines from the Veneto and beyond, Pasqua is now a third generation family business. Tradition, innovation, quality, research and passion are the values handed down from generation to generation.

Manincor

Situated in the midst of the hills surrounding the Lake of Caldaro in the far north of Italy, the Manincor estate was founded in 1606 by the colorfully named Hieronymus Manincor zu Ehrenhausen. The ancestors of today’s owner, Count Michael Goëss-Enzenberg, became related to Manincor zu Ehrenhausen in 1662 through marriage, so there is a direct lineage of some 350 years. Count Michael has owned and run Manincor since 1977, in which time it has become the largest estate winery in the Süd Tirol. A brand new winery opened in 2004, built substantially beneath the vineyards, so as not to disturb the landscape of the area. A multitude of small vineyard parcels is farmed, at 220 - 500 meters above sea level, with a wide variety of soils. Winemaking is as natural as possible, and the slope of the cellar site is utilized to move grapes and must by gravity though the winemaking process.

Pojer e Sandri

No one has demonstrated “sprezzatura” – the art of effortless mastery – quite like Mario Pojer & Fiorentino Sandri, especially when it comes to wine and distillates. Both their vineyards and orchards make wines, grappas, and fruit brandies with a clear identity and sense of place….and all under the same roof – unique in Italy. They are always challenging themselves – on the lookout for new ideas to improve quality, including washing grape bunches before pressing in a nitrogen-saturated environment (natural yeasts selected before harvest).

The partnership between Pojer and Sandri dates back to 1975 and the the duo’s wine labels all feature works from the great 15th C. German artist, Dürer, who passed through Faedo on his way to Venice.

Tenuta J. Hofstätter

Now in its fourth generation, the company is run by Martin Foradori Hofstätter: the son of Paolo Foradori (known as the father of Alto Adige Pinot Noir), he took the lead after three generations and over a century of experience in the care of delicate grapes, such as Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer, as well as other varieties including Lagrein, Pinot Blanc and Schiava.

Martin Foradori Hofstätter had the task of helping the company step into a new era, launching new business initiatives in the Mosel area – with the acquisition of the longstanding Dr. Fischer – and in Trentino, with the Maso Michei project.
