The old farm of Martin Gojer is located in Campill, in the province of Bolzano. Martin buys it in 1997 and at the beginning grants grapes to the local cooperative until he begins to produce his own wine in 2010. A wine that can make its land feel, its customs, its vintage and its way of life. The vineyards are on the opposite side of the hill of Santa Maddalena at the mouth of the Isarco Valley and enjoy an exceptional microclimate given by the warmth rising from the Bolzano basin and the fresh breeze coming from the valley. All cultivated in biodynamics, with great manual and economic efforts, have never seen a disaster, and defense against diseases is carried out with targeted interventions of sulfur, natural remedies and copper. Martin Gojer cultivates Muller Thurgau, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Chardonnay, Merlot, and above all Lagrein and Schiava, which has the merit of bringing back to the ancient splendor.
