Tenuta Peter Sölva

The winery Peter Sölva is one of the oldest wine-growing businesses in Caldaro. They are a family business which has been passed on from father to son for hundreds of years. Documents go back to 1731 showing that the family has grown grapes, made and sold wine without a break for 10 generations. It was only a few years after the Second World War that more and more wine was bottled in litre bottles and then more and more in 0.75lt bottles. Over the years, there have been many positive developments in viticulture (vineyard variety projects) and cellar management. Due to the location, the winery produces 60% red wines in the valley locations around Lake Kaltern between 224 - 400 metres above sea level and 40% white wines in the hillside locations between 400 - 600 metres above sea level. The family history was and still is the focus of their work and describes the 2 wine selections with the historical names of the family DeSILVA (signature of the soil, Old Vines) and AMISTAR (signature of the family, memory of the Spanish roots).
