The St. Pauls cooperative winery is located in the village of St. Pauls (San Paolo), a hamlet of Eppan an der Weinstraße, (Appiano sulla Strada del Vino in Italian or “Eppan on the Wine Trail”), a commune located about eight kilometers southwest of Bozen (Bolzano) in South Tyrol (Alto Adige). With roughly 150 grower members, the cooperative covers 175 hectares planted to vine, with an average of one hectare per grower, making it a true “family affair” since all of the members are family-owned and run farms. With vineyard sites that range from 500-700 meters a.s.l. and a variety of subsoils mostly volcanic and morainic in origin, the cooperative is uniquely positioned to make some of the best and most critically acclaimed wines in South Tyrol. One of the things that makes St. Pauls stand apart from the crowded field of Tyrolean winemakers is that its focus is on native grape varieties.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
