Tied to Nature, Determined, Family-run
Everything is done here to bring the quality of the grapes into the bottles
If the search is for three terms that most accurately describe the Unterhofer Estate Winery in Pianizza di Sopra, they would indeed be: tied to nature, determined, and family-run.
Let’s
start with the term “family-run”: the Unterhofer Estate Winery is a
family operation, and thus one in which not only has the operating
family given its name by bearing the brunt of the work on their own
shoulders, the wines that come into existence here are also imprinted
with their very own stamp. At the same time, the term “family-run”
describes a second aspect: the manageability, that “good things come in small packages”.
The
term “tied to nature” fits the Unterhofer Estate Winery because the
entire philosophy is oriented toward this. “We work our largely very
steep, airy slopes as close to nature as possible,” explains winegrower
Thomas Unterhofer, “and we also view ourselves as caretakers of the
landscape.”
Landscape caretakers
who in any
case also produce wine with passion. And, in so doing, have clear goals
in focus – so “determined”. Thus the motto applies in the winery to
also bring the high grape quality that was achieved in the vineyards
into the bottles. The results are expressive wines which, with the
exception of Schiava, are for the most part white: Kerner, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Blanc. “Our wines are character wines,” Unterhofer adds, “unique, reflective of their vintage, and with a very personal signature.
