A top producer with a small range of exquisite wines, widely admired
and regularly receiving industry accolades for his products. The Peter
Dipoli estate was born in 1987 when the Dipoli family bought 1.2 hectares
of vines in Penon, a hamlet near the village of Kurtatsch. The vineyard
was completely replanted with Sauvignon Blanc and in 1990, the first
1637 bottles of Voglar were produced. In the following years, the estate
was enlarged, with the addition of the Iugum vineyard in nearby Magré,
and the purchase of an ancient rural property in Villa, near Egna, that
in 1998 was restored and became the estate winery. Peter's background
had been in farming, and he had studied viticulture at the San Michele
all’Adige High School, and worked for 5 years at the research
station of Laimburg, before going back to his father’s property
with the aim of creating his own vineyard estate. Today, he is very
active in the promotion of wines from Alto Adige, and is the Vice-President
of the Freie Weinbauern Südtirol - the Committee of Free Winegrowers
South Tyrol.
