We have decided to found an exclusive Wine Club for all our friends, partners and customers. Wine Club-members will be more closely connected with us, get first-hand news, enjoy unique advantages during the year and have exclusive access to our Onlineshop.
CANTINA GIRLAN
"Wine tradition since 1923"
Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then 24 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines.
Today, about 200 greatly committed and motivated winegrowers and their families farm an area covering about 230 hectares of vineyards in the best production areas of Oltradige and Bassa Atesina. Our enologist, Gerhard Kofler, keeps in close personal contact with the winegrowers and provides his professional advice during the growing season. This beneficial exchange of expertise sets the foundations for producing highest quality wines.
WINE CLUB
VINOTHEQUE
We cordially invite you to become better acquainted with us and our wines. In our welcoming tasting rooms, you can taste all of our wines and chat with our experienced experts.
CELLAR RESERVE
DEDICATED TO THE AGING POTENTIAL OF OUR PREMIUM WINES
CELLAR RESERVE wines age in our underground cellars under perfect conditions. Year after year, we select vintages of our best wines that show optimal drinking maturity. Together with his team, winemaker Gerhard Kofler controls every single bottle and only if they meet our strict quality requirements, they are recorked and sealed with the exclusive "CELLAR RESERVE"-capsule.
This is how we guarantee the quality of these wines.
CELLAR RESERVE wines are reserved for high-end gastronomy - information at info@girlan.it
