Cultivated with heart and mind

First class apples need real care

Our Val Venosta farmers put a great deal of experience, care and hands-on work into growing apples. Depending on the farm and cultivation method, the apples are produced in accordance with the respective guidelines for integrated or organic production. From tending the orchards through to harvest, our farmers care for the fruit with great dedication.
