Book this experienceThe cellars sit at Tòr Löwengang, an estate the family acquired in 1934 on the wine route that runs through the southern Alto Adige valleys around Magrè (Margreid in German). Today the same estate is run by three siblings of the sixth generation: Alois Clemens leads cellar, agriculture, sales and finance, Helena heads marketing and the Vineria & Osteria Paradeis, and Anna runs events including the SUMMA wine fair held each spring.
Lageder's reputation in Alto Adige is built on quality and on early commitment to biodynamics. The family's vineyards converted to biodynamic agriculture in 2004, and the first biodynamically certified wines appeared in 2008. By the 2024 vintage, all roughly sixty vintner partners that contribute fruit to the estate were also working organically or biodynamically, a transition that took the winery thirteen years to complete.
The wine range is organised in three lines that map to the producer's logic. The Classical Grape Varietals cover the white and red varieties most associated with Alto Adige: Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Nero and Lagrein. The Compositions are blends, including the Cason Bianco built on Viognier and Petit Manseng. The Crus are single-site bottlings led by the Löwengang Chardonnay and the Krafuss Pinot Noir, the labels that did most to define the producer's signature in international markets.
The visiting side is built around the historic Casòn Hirschprunn building. It houses the Vineria, where the full range can be tasted and bought, and the Osteria Paradeis, an EU-certified organic restaurant supplied by the estate's own vegetable garden Grandorto and by livestock raised on the farm. Sommelier-led tastings and guided walks of the cellars and vineyards are bookable through the Paradeis team.
For Italian wine drinkers the Lageder address matters because it sits at the high-quality end of an Alto Adige scene that is itself one of Italy's most reliable sources of varietal whites. The biodynamic conversion, the multi-line range and the long-running SUMMA fair give the estate an editorial weight that few single-family Alto Adige producers carry.
