Peter Zemmer

Alpine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Südtirol's mineral terroirs.

Peter Zemmer works the alpine slopes of Südtirol, where cool nights and mineral-rich soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—varieties that thrive in this northern Italian terroir, where altitude and diurnal temperature swings concentrate flavor while preserving acidity. The Vigna Kofl Pinot Noir Riserva, a flagship expression, demonstrates the region's capacity for structured, elegant reds. Parallel to this sits a lineup of Chardonnay reserves: the Crivelli and Buchholz selections showcase how limestone and slate soils translate into wines of mineral tension and complexity. These bottlings have drawn attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. Südtirol's continental climate and high-altitude vineyards produce wines marked by freshness and definition—a character evident across Peter Zemmer's range.
