WEINGUT PFITSCHER
Südtirol / Alto Adige, Italy
When asked how many generations his family has made wine, Daniel Pfitscher walks to the ornately painted, vellum family tree on the wall, finds his own name, and counts down to the founder of the South Tirolian wine dynasty – Eight generations total.
Over 160 years later, three of those generations still work side by side. The entire family, including grandfather, take part in the harvest, and quality-wine pioneers Klaus and Monika are still at the heart of the business, though their three children have now taken active leading roles. Son Hannes has taken the helm as Winemaker, while son Daniel leads commercial operations and sister Marion manages events.
