Characterful Organic Wines from Renon in South Tyrol

The Dolomytos Sacker winery is located in Auna di Sotto, on the Renon plateau above Bolzano in South Tyrol. At an altitude of approximately 500 metres, distinctive white and red wines are produced, reflecting their unique origins, diverse grape varieties and a nature-focused approach to winemaking. The steep, sun-drenched vineyards, with their weathered porphyry soils, provide the foundation for authentic wines with a distinctive character.

A Winery with History and a Unique Philosophy

The history of Dolomytos Sacker is closely connected to Professor Rainer Zierock, who shaped the winery according to his vision between 1998 and 2009. In 2013, the Marginter family took over the estate and has continued its distinctive winemaking tradition ever since. The winery's philosophy centres on respect for nature, organic vineyard cultivation and an approach to winemaking that preserves the natural character of the wines. The estate has been certified organic since 2016.

Vineyards and Grape Varieties in Renon

The Dolomytos Sacker vineyards cover approximately three hectares in Renon, with a further 0.5 hectares in Termeno, along the South Tyrolean Wine Road. One of the estate's defining features is its remarkable diversity of grape varieties. Alongside classic varieties such as Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the vineyards are also home to lesser-known varieties including Assyrtiko, Petit Manseng and Agiorgitiko. This diversity provides the foundation for distinctive cuvées that bring together different grape varieties and winemaking traditions.

Natural Winemaking and Extended Ageing

At Dolomytos Sacker, the wines are given plenty of time to develop their character. Spontaneous fermentation, ageing in wooden barrels and, in some cases, amphorae, together with extended maturation periods, are central to the winery's philosophy. Another distinctive feature is the approximately 70-metre-long Dolomytos tunnel, where selected wines continue to mature at consistently cool temperatures.
