Tenuta Kornell Winery

Exceptional Wines, Rooted in the Heart of South Tyrol

At Kornell Winery, winemaking is more than a craft—it’s a celebration of life. Our carefully curated selection of wines reflects the rich diversity of South Tyrol’s terroir.

🍷 White Wines: Elegant Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and aromatic Gewürztraminer

🍷 Red Wines: Bold Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the distinctive Lagrein

Each wine undergoes controlled fermentation in steel vats, followed by 14 to 18 months of aging in barriques and oak barrels, and an additional 10 months of bottle maturation—allowing their full character to develop.

The Perfect Terroir for Exceptional Wines

Our family vineyards, located in Settequerce, Appiano Monte, and Gries near Bolzano, provide the foundation for healthy, high-quality grapes.

🌞 Elevation: Vines thrive at 270 to 550 meters above sea level

☀️ Sunshine: Over 2,100 hours of annual sunlight

🌙 Cool Nights: Optimal conditions for balanced ripening

🌱 Soils:

• Settequerce: Eroded, quartz-bearing porphyry

• Appiano Monte: Calcareous clay

🏔️ Exposure: South- and southwest-facing slopes for ideal sunlight absorption

These natural advantages come together to create wines of remarkable structure and depth.

Schafferhaus – The Heart of Kornell Winery

More than just a winery, Kornell is a place where history and passion intertwine. At the foot of the Greifensteiner slope, in the midst of lush vineyards, stands the Schafferhaus—the oldest building on the estate and a symbol of peace, heritage, and the joy of life.
