Earth, rocks, wind. Our new winery is in a certain
sense a joining of these. The winery is completely
excavated underground and rises into sight,
completely surrounded by calacareous rocks and
exposed to the sun and the wind that warms our
entire valley
Seated at the foot of Castel Madruzzo, our winery is
intended to be a new and simple symbol of the
hardworking peasant culture, a symbol of our
territory, to sanctify the identity of our community
but above all of our philosophy of producing
wines.
This is derived from dedication and spontaneity. |

Every phase of the process of transforming grapes into wine at
Pravis respects a natural idea of winemaking.
We use the least technology possible: our grapes, once pressed,
flow with gravity into fermentation tanks, then into barrels,
then finally into containers for pre-bottling with patience and
we allow the natural elements of the wine to aid our intuition
in the winery.
Enological tradition, paired with a modern archaeological style.
Our winery is both practically designed and fascinating in its
minimalism. The Dolomites are allowed to “enter” into very
outdoor space. Even in the “fruttaia” where grapes are left to
dry on grates – the traditional “arele” – destined to be
transformed in very particular wines – above all, Vino Santo.
And there’s more. The rocks, majestically placed, now an
integral
part of our winery, control the winery temperature and also
view.
Even in the deep recesses where our wine slowly matures. This is
a characteristic space, silent, in symbiosis with all the other
parts of the winery’s structure, including our distillery. In
this distillery – with our artisanal “bain-marie” distillation
of the grape pomace – we complete the life cycle of the
grapes-sipping grappa. The last magic alchemistry of pure
Trentino peasant culture.
