For over a century, Kettmeir has been crafting vibrant, expressive wines that are emblematic of Alto Adige. This northern Italian region has become a favorite among sommeliers and retailers alike. The winery’s take on Alto Adige’s signature white grape, Pinot Bianco, embodies the freshness and aromatic complexity of Kettmeir wines—with just enough intrigue to draw in consumers.
Established in 1919, Kettmeir was the first winery to bottle and export wines from Alto Adige. Though the producer owns vineyards in this small, Alpine region, it also has generations-long partnerships with local growers, many of which have small production and are focused on quality. These strong relationships allow Kettmeir to work closely with their grower partners to produce the best possible grapes for delicious wines.
The Kettmeir Pinot Bianco, one of the winery’s varietal wines, is fermented in stainless steel and aged for a few months on its lees before bottling. With Alto Adige’s signature freshness and bright, complex aromatic profile, it’s a versatile option for glass, bottle, and retail programs alike.
