Lafóa Pinot Noir Riserva

The Lafóa Blauburgunder Riserva shows how far Pinot Noir can mature in South Tyrol: dense, spicy, and with a structure that retains tension even after several years in the cellar.

The Kellerei Schreckbichl, better known as Colterenzio, is one of the pioneers of South Tyrolean viticulture around Eppan in the Überetsch region. The name Lafóa goes back to the old name of a castle ruin near Eppan and represents the best vineyard sites of the member winegrowers: lime-rich, mineral soils at an altitude of several hundred meters, where warm days and cool nights ensure freshness and a wealth of aromas. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is aged in small wooden barrels, which gives it depth and structure.

In the glass, dark cherry and wild strawberry appear, accompanied by a fine spice of clove and toasted wood. On the palate, the wine is juicy, with velvety tannins and a long, slightly earthy finish.

Best served at 16 °C, for example with roast veal, grilled duck, or aged mountain cheese from the South Tyrolean alpine pastures. It also unfolds its character on its own, on a quiet evening.

The Winery

Kellerei Schreckbichl

Kellerei Schreckbichl has stood for South Tyrolean winemaking art since 1960. Back then, 26 winegrowers joined forces to be more independent and to be able to manage their vineyards even better together. Over the decades, this idea has become a success story: today, the cooperative has around 300 members who together cultivate about 300 hectares of vineyards – between 230 and 650 meters above sea level, in one of the best locations in South Tyrol.

Tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: careful manual labor in the vineyard, natural cultivation, and state-of-the-art cellar technology complement each other to create a business that not only preaches responsibility but lives it – for example with its own photovoltaics and heat recovery in the cellar. These high altitudes between Alpine air and Mediterranean warmth give the grapes exactly the freshness and ripeness that makes South Tyrolean wines so special.

The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the local Vernatsch – authentic wines with a clear regional expression. Schreckbichl is therefore much more than a cooperative: it is an association with an attitude that shows how community and quality can strengthen each other.
