Girlan Winery

Girlan Winery –
A cooperative with character from South Tyrol
What began in 1923 with 23 winegrowers in a 16th-century farmhouse is today one of South Tyrol's most renowned cooperatives: the Girlan Winery in the Überetsch region, between Bolzano and the lower Adige Valley. Two hundred winegrowing families jointly cultivate around 230 hectares of vineyards on mineral-rich moraine soils at an altitude of 400 to 550 meters – a location that imparts freshness, structure, and a delicate minerality to the wines.
Cellar master Gerhard Kofler knows every winemaker personally. This relationship is not a marketing promise, but the foundation of a quality policy that Girlan established as early as 1950: As pioneers, they introduced quality-dependent payment – a model that is commonplace in the industry today, but was anything but back then.
In the cellar, historic building fabric meets modern technology. The result is wines that clearly reflect the character of their origin: white wine-forward, with depth – from aromatic Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer blends to dense Vernatsch and Lagrein red wines that fully exploit the potential of South Tyrolean vineyards.
