Producer

Alois Lageder is one of Italy’s most respected organic and biodynamic producers, with a long-standing commitment to sustainability, innovation and excellence in wine growing.

Alois Lageder has a rich, family-owned heritage spanning six generations. Each generation has shaped the company in its own unique way. In 1823, Johann Lageder laid the foundation stone and began trading in wine alongside his work as a wagon maker. Based in Magrè in the Alto Adige region, the estate combines traditional winemaking with cutting-edge ecological practices.

The RIFF range, including this Pinot Grigio, sources grapes from high-altitude vineyards across the Dolomites to capture freshness and finesse. The name “Riff” (German for “reef”) refers to the ancient oceanic origins of the Dolomite mountains, whose limestone-rich soils lend vibrant minerality to the wines.

Wine Region

The Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy lies in the shadow of the Dolomites, where vineyards benefit from warm days, cool nights and exceptional altitude. Known for its crisp, elegant white wines, especially Pinot Grigio, the region is defined by mineral-rich calcareous soils, clean mountain air and alpine purity.

The Venezie IGT classification spans several northern Italian regions and is used for wines that reflect this bright, cool-climate style with fresh fruit and lively acidity — especially in Pinot Grigio.
