Founded in 1823 in Alto Adige, Italy, Alois Lageder is currently run by Alois Lageder and Alois Clemens Lageder, representing the fifth and sixth generation of family ownership. The Lageder wines represent the extraordinary diversity of the Alto Adige region and its wide range of terroirs that includes Alpine and Mediterranean climates and vineyard elevations from 600 to 3,300 feet. The wines are made from grapes grown in vineyards owned by the Lageder family – about 123 acres – which are cultivated according to sustainable, biodynamic and organic farming methods and from grapes grown in the vineyards owned by long-term partnering grape growers. This close cooperation with contractual vintners from different areas in Alto Adige represents a fundamental component of the company history.
