Isidoro Princic, alias “Doro”, started bottling his first wines in 1952: self-educated in Pradis, in the village of Cormòns, he was among the first vine growers to believe in Collio wines. Today Sandro, his son, is proof of that belief as he continues the work of his father. Sandro is a point of reference of Collio, with his elegant and refined wines, the result of the labour in the vineyards, which amount to 12 hectares of land. His white wines are always vinified in steel, while the reds are vinified in barrels of 20 hectolitres. Since a few years Sandro’s son, Carlo, joined the company to give a hand to his grandfather with the vineyard management.

At Elena Walch, a combination of sustainable manual practices and precise lot selection has always been a priority - setting benchmarks for the future. For decades, Elena Walch has been regarded as the "Grande Dame" of Alto Adige and Italian winemaking, and her family estate, now managed by her daughters Julia and Karoline, counts among the elite of Italian wine production - with international success.
Born and raised in Milan, she completed architecture studies in Venice and settled in Bolzano when she married into an ancient wine family in the village of Tramin. Fascinated by the interplay between nature, people and pleasure, full of self-confidence and energy, and unbiased by preconceptions, she set about investigating avenues for improvement. She was ahead of her times. As a pioneer, Elena Walch set the course for modern wine growing in Alto Adige and positioned herself at the pinnacle of Italian wine production.

The Benanti name represents a profound respect for Etna’s wine vocation. In fact, the volcano and its terroir present an important heterogeneity, which makes each slope or area particularly suitable for one grape variety over another. Mount Etna stands more than 3,000 meters high. Its slopes show substantial differences for winegrowing, including variable exposures, temperature range, altitude, volcanic soil, brightness, rainfall, rate ventilation, influence of the sea, and farming systems.
