In 1960, 26 winegrowers from Colterenzio in Appiano founded their own cooperative in order to gain their independence from the wine merchants of the time. These rebels named the newly-founded cooperative after their homeland, the small hamlet of Schreckbichl, (Colterenzio in Italian). In their constant pursuit of top quality, the Colterenzio winemakers were also pioneers. 

Bright pale yellow colour with a green nuance, powerful aromas of elder and acacia flower, passion fruit, lime intert wined with herbal notes to the nose. The palate is complexed with hints of white currant, melon and stone fruit, underpinned by zesty acidity and a delicate flinty aftertaste. Cellaring potential: 3 – 5 years.

Hill and mountainside sites at an altitude of approx. 400 – 500 m; the sort is morainal with high mineral content.

Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18° C and lasts around 14 days. Part of the wine is fermented in large oak casks. Both new wines refine separately on their fine lees for 6 months and will be blended before bottling.
