Cembra Cantina di Montagna isn’t just a winery—it’s a gravity-defying love letter to Alpine viticulture. Perched up to 850 meters above sea level in Trentino’s rugged Cembra Valley, it’s one of Italy’s highest wineries and a proud hub for heroic winemaking. Terraced vineyards cling to volcanic slopes with 40% inclines, making machines useless and human hands essential. Every vine is tended with old-school grit and mountaineer precision.
The cooperative was founded in 1952 and now unites around 300 growers who farm 300 hectares of vertigo-inducing terrain. Back in the 1980s, Cembra pioneered a vineyard zoning project that still guides its winegrowing philosophy today: match each grape to its perfect perch. The results? Wines that are crisp, vibrant, and full of soul.
From mineral-driven Müller Thurgau grown nearly in the clouds to fragrant Pinot Nero shaped by Alpine breezes, Cembra’s lineup sings with freshness, finesse, and a deep sense of place. All crafted with total respect for the land and a fierce commitment to quality—from hillside to cellar.
Did you know?
The Cembra Valley sits on one of Europe’s richest deposits of porphyry—a volcanic rock with a deep red hue. This “red gold” doesn’t just make architects swoon; it lends local wines their signature minerality, depth, and staying power. Stylish and structural—just like the stones they’re rooted in.
