An Estate Winery with Potential. Genuine Potential.
Ruins turned into a functioning estate winery
When real estate agents say that a home has “potential”, then you
usually think that you’re standing in front of ruins. Against this
background, the Putzenhof in Laives-S. Giacomo had a heap of potential
back in the 1950s. And in actuality, the Schweigkofler-Mottironi family
took full advantage of it.
In 1956, Viktoria and Johann Schweigkofler bought the Putzenhofin S. Giacomo, a part of Laives. The vineyards were old, some of them
hadn’t been tended for years, the buildings were dilapidated, the
approach on the road was arduous. But behind that realtor’s word
“potential”, the Schweigkoflers recognized the reality: “The vineyard at
the foot of a porphyry wall, the slopes with a southwestern exposure,
and the climatic conditions were virtually ideal for winegrowing,” says
grandson Roman Mottironi, who runs the estate winery today.
The
ideal conditions were exploited by the owners over three generations to
turn ruins into a functioning estate winery. Today, it has grape growing areas of 5.5 hectares that are worked in a manner close to nature. For instance, herbicides have been avoided for years.
And
thus the raw materials grow for a series of wines: gentle and close to
nature. And likewise created gently in the cellars of the Putzenhof in
Laives are a white assortment with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and
Kerner as well as a red line with Lagrein, Pinot Noir, and a Colli di
Bolzano cuvée made from Schiava, Lagrein, and Pinot Noir. Some 37,000 bottles are filled every year. So the potential of the Putzenhof has in fact proven itself with numbers.
