HISTORY Founded in 1823, Alois Lageder is a family estate known for its highest standard of quality in viticulture and winemaking and for its leading role in recognizing and developing Alto Adige’s single vineyard wines. The estate is now directed by Alois Lageder and Alois Clemens Lageder, who represent the fifth and sixth generation of family ownership. They share a common goal to combine tradition and innovation. The family's winemaking philosophy is based on a holistic approach to produce wines with authentic character while leaving the natural environment as intact as possible for future generations. The region experiences diurnal shifts between day and night influenced by the mesoclimate of cool air from the Alps and the warm sun of the Mediterranean.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING Alois Lageder's "Misto Mare" Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Bianco is a unique blend that showcases the diversity of Alto Adige's grape varieties. Combining over 14 different grape types, both white and red, from biodynamically farmed vineyards, this wine captures the complexity and richness of the region's varied altitudes and soils. The grapes are sourced from vines aged between 3 to 80 years, grown at elevations ranging from 210 to 740 meters above sea level. The wine undergoes partial whole cluster fermentation and malolactic fermentation, with aging in stainless-steel tanks and on the lees for added depth. The name "Misto Mare" reflects the historical ocean that once covered Alto Adige, and the label, designed by Finnish artist Klaus Haapaniemi, adds a touch of artistic flair to this captivating blend.
