Cellar
The history of the wine cellar began 150 years ago, already under the far-sighted banner of eco-sustainability from the natural stone subsoil, it was later modernised and transformed into one of the most beautiful and tradition-rich private wine cellars in South Tyrol. It is here that Elena Walch wines are born, artfully created from the best grapes following a sustainable approach, with full respect for nature and the environment. a leading South Tyrolean family-run winery, a flagship of Italian wine production and internationally renowned.
As a promoter of quality and innovation, Elena Walch has helped to lead the South Tyrolean quality revolution, thus earning a high local and international reputation. An architect by profession, Elena Walch married the heir to one of the oldest wine families in the region, bringing with her new concepts for modernising the traditional winery. Today, the company is run in the hands of her daughters Julia and Karoline Walch, the fifth generation of the family.
The profound conviction that the quality of wine is born in the vineyard thus brings with it the will to work without compromise, respecting the individual characteristics of each vineyard.

The wines are distinguished by their character, elegance and distinct personality, combined with a high level of professionalism.
