Wine with an Edge
Stephan Sölva combines tradition and innovation
The fact that winegrowing has a great deal to do with tradition becomes clear with the Peter Sölva & SöhneEstate Winery in Caldaro. Since 1731, and thus for ten generations
now, wine has been produced here – and it is done so today with the same
passion in both the vineyard and the winery. Wines come into existence
with an edge – “No mainstream wines,” as Stephan Sölva puts it, who runs the estate winery today.
Twelve
hectares of grape growing areas make up the traditional estate winery
encompasses, which Sölva describes looking both forward and back
equally, “Having a centuries-old history in the wine industry,
respecting it, and running it authentically in the present and the
future,” this is the hallmark of his estate.
Tradition and
authenticity are therefore the keywords according to which the work is
done at Sölva, and consistency could be added as a third. Thus Peter
Sölva follows his own path that is characterized by consciousness of
quality and a broad palette of grape varieties, some of which are
unusual for the area: Lagrein, Gewürztraminer, Teroldego, Petit Verdot,
Tannat, and Grenache.
The results of this combination are two lines with a very unique signature: the designation “Amitar” is carried by Sölva’s late-harvest wines, while “Desilva” designates terroir wines from old vines.
“What is important is that the origin from our vineyards can be
noticed in the character of the wine, and that our wines carry the
signature of our estate,” Sölva tells us.
As can be seen with
this estate winery in Caldaro, that which is new can thus best be
combined with tradition. And the results can clearly be seen each time.
