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.

Today, the company is run in the hands of her daughters Julia and Karoline Walch, the fifth generation of the family.
