About the Winemaker
Elena Walch | Elena Walch
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 positionned herself at the pinnacle of Italian wine production.
Her daughters, Julia and Karoline have long since taken over the management of the family estate and further led the enterprise in the fifth generation to what it is today: an estate known for its deeply characterful wines of elegance and personality, reflecting the most innovative winemaking, superb climatic conditions and sustainable practice.
