One Monastery, One Estate, Many Wines
The winegrowing estate has three hundred years of history and is now also a Buschenschank farmhouse inn
Three and a half hectares provide what can be called the liquid foundation of the Planitzer Buschenschank farmhouse innin Gleno above Montagna. The use as a farmhouse inn is relatively
young, but the winegrowing on the other hand is older. Much older. Its
history dates back over three hundred years and is also tied to a
convent in the Val Pusteria.
At the Sonnenburg (Castel Badia)
convent near Brunico, wine from Planitzer in Gleno arrived for a long
time on the table and in the chalice. In the end, the farm was
obligated to pay taxes and therefore had to provide a portion of its
harvest to the Val Pusteria which was not especially blessed with
winegrowing.
Today, the situation here high above the Bassa
Atesina is completely different. “Our farm complex comprises the upper
house, the lower house with the added chapel of St. Cosmas and Damian,
around three and a half hectares of vineyards, and more than four
hectares of woods and meadows,” explains Judith Ainhauser Weissensteiner.
Along with her family, she is responsible not just for the winegrowing
at the farm, but also for the Planitzer Buschenschank farmhouse inn
which was opened in the spring of 2014 – as the second pillar of the
historical winegrowing farmhouse.
The Planitzer winegrowing and farmhouse inn operation in Gleno above Montagna is thus a genuine family-run operation in which three generationsare assigned their respective tasks. Two of them, for instance, are in
the kitchen: mother Doris is a trained chef, and daughter Judith lends
her a hand. While the grapevines therefore provide the liquid
foundation for the farmhouse inn, they take care of the solid one.
