Elena Walch

Italy, Alto Adige

It is one of the well-known wine producers in Alto Adige (South tyrol) that owns vineyards around the traditional wine village of Termeno or Tramin in German local language. Especially the white wines get special taste and durability thanks to the favorable positions of the vineyards in heights till 1.000m. The microclimate with the extremely temperature differences in spring and autumn creates wonderful ranges of acids, while through to the stable winds the grapes do not create moisture and keep health until late in the autumn. I talked to Werner Walch, husband of Elena Walch, the owner. His family, which owns other wine producing companies, determined the wine development in that region. Definitely they know about wine.
