Manifesto
Kettmeir looks to the future with deep roots. Our manifesto speaks of our respect for time and the strength of those who dare
to remain true to themselves.
to remain true to themselves.
You realise the value of
things when you find the
courage to question them.
South Tyrol taught us this, and we
have been putting it into
practice since 1919.
With respect and boldness.
It is only by looking at the imposing peaks of the Dolomites that we can grasp the nuances of the gentle vineyard-covered slopes around Kaltern.
Only through oenological experimentation, the cornerstone of our Manifesto, can we carry forward the prestige of ancient traditions like the Traditional Method. And make them meaningful for contemporary times as well.

FROM THE PEAKS
TO THE CELLAR
We have always been witnesses to the deep wine culture of South Tyrol and the favourable climatic conditions of this land.
Today, ours is an avant-garde company, capable of valorising indigenous vines both in the valley and at altitude, producing wines that are aromatic, elegant and true to their origin.
