Tucked into the storybook village of St. Pauls in Alto Adige, Sankt. Pauls Winery is a cooperative that proves great things happen when families work together. Founded in 1907 and now boasting around 150 growers—each farming an average of just one hectare—it’s less a business and more a tight-knit community rooted in passion, tradition, and a whole lot of mountain charm. These high-elevation vineyards, perched between 300 and 700 meters above sea level, sit on an incredible geological mosaic of volcanic, morainic, and limestone soils. That means one thing: terroir, terroir, terroir.
Here, sustainable farming is second nature, gravity does the heavy lifting in the cellar, and Pinot Bianco reigns supreme—especially from their legendary 1899 vineyard, the oldest in the region. But Sankt Pauls isn’t just about whites: it’s a champion of Alto Adige’s native reds like Schiava and Lagrein, grapes often overshadowed but never forgotten here. While international stars like Chardonnay and Cabernet make an appearance, local pride leads the charge. Not certified organic, but very much walking the talk, this is honest, high-altitude winemaking from a region where Italy meets the Alps, and every bottle sings its origin.

Did you know?
Sankt Pauls is a proud “Biodiversity Friend” certified winery, with nearly all vineyard work done by hand. From composting to water-saving techniques and minimal cellar intervention, sustainability here is no buzzword—it’s a way of life. The result? Vibrant, soulful wines with a clean conscience and a deep Alpine accent.
