Pojer & Sandri

Common questions

• Where is Pojer & Sandri based? add remove
  Pojer e Sandri are based at Loc. Molini 4, Faedo (San Michele all'Adige, TN), in northern Trentino. That is about half an hour north of Trento. The cellar sits on the northern edge of the Piana Rotaliana. The vineyards extend east into Val di Cembra and onto the high pastures of Grumes.
• Who founded Pojer e Sandri and when? add remove
  The estate was founded in 1975 by Mario Pojer, a young winemaker, and Fiorentino Sandri, who brought family vineyards on the porphyry slopes around Faedo. Their first commercial release was the 1975 Müller-Thurgau Palai. It is still made under the same vineyard name today. The second generation, including Marianna, Matteo, Fiamma, Elisa and Federico, now runs the estate alongside the founders.
• Is Pojer e Sandri certified organic? add remove
  The official site says the estate farms to biological principles. Importers describe it as a natural-farming producer. But the estate does not publicly carry a named organic certificate for the full range, such as ICEA, CCPB or Demeter. The Zero Infinito line, launched in 2013, is grown without chemical treatments and bottled with no added sulphur. In certification terms it is presented as a natural wine, not a certified organic one.
• What is the Zero Infinito project? add remove
  Zero Infinito is the estate's natural wine line, started in 2013 on PIWI (resistant) vines planted on abandoned hill farms in Grumes. The brief is zero chemical sprays in the vineyard and zero additions in the cellar. That means no sulphur, no commercial yeast, no clarifying agents, no filtration and no antioxidants. The line currently includes the sparkling rosato Cremisi, a sparkling white and the Perpetuo cuvee. All are made by ancestral method.
• What is the most famous Pojer e Sandri wine? add remove
  Müller-Thurgau Palai is the founding wine and the label most tied to the estate's name. It is a single-vineyard mountain white from Faedo with cold-cellar acidity and a salty, anise edge. Faye, a barrique-aged Cabernet and Merlot blend, is the structured red that put Trentino's international varieties on serious tasting notes. The Zero Infinito Cremisi sparkling rosato is the modern cult release.
• Can you visit Pojer & Sandri? add remove
