04.02.2016 - THE WINERY
Vine cultivation has always in present in this district and the Balter family has pursued this enterprise for generations. The year 1990 constituted a turning point as the Balter family stopped being merely benefactors and became wine producers, with the construction of the winery. This was built under the vineyard, next to the infrastructure to which it is connected by a stone tunnel. The winery is now operationally independent in each stage of production and can be visited to discover the secrets of the Classic Method of production.
THE WINES
There are seven wines produced by Nicola Balter and his children, Giacomo and Clementina. In recent years, the name Balter has become increasingly associated with Trentina sparking wine: much of the production is divided between three different types of Trentodoc wine: Balter Brut, Rosé and Balter Reserve. The original wines, symbols of the beginning of this winery, still retain a fundamental role today: the Sauvignon, the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Legrein Merlot and the Barbanico.
THE CASTELLIERE
This structure was built in the 1500s when a tower was erected on the west side of the building. Its purpose was to provide communication between the various castles. As time passed, the structure was extended whilst retaining its military character, until, in more recent times, its use became purely agricultural.
