South Tyrol, Alto Adige

Ansitz Dolomytos Sacker, a historic yet quietly progressive estate from Alto Adige, now imported into Australia for the first time.

The Sacker family has deep roots in South Tyrol, farming vineyards in the dramatic Dolomite foothills. The winery is headed by Philipp Carli who has taken the wines to a new level with meticulous farming, lots of biodiversity in then vineyards, with an emphasis on healthy soils and lower yields.

They are a mere 3.5 hectares of vines. Their vineyards sit at an altitude of 520m, benefiting from cool nights and long growing seasons. In the cellar, the approach is minimal and classic, native fermentations, gentle extraction, and measured use of oak, always in service of balance rather than power. They are certified biodynamic and organic.

The style is pure, mineral-driven and very complex, with freshness and structure at the core.

The flagship wine is the Weiss which is a distinctive blend of Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and local varieties from 25–50-year-old vines. Whole-cluster pressed and naturally fermented in 150L oak barrels, it spends 23 months on lees with early bâtonnage, around 30% in new oak, developing a subtle oxidative structure.

Textural and layered, the wine shows ripe orchard fruit, smoky minerality, spice, and savoury, oxidative notes, balanced by freshness and finesse despite . Only about 3,500 bottles are produced each year, with extended bottle ageing in the Dolomytos tunnel.

The wines are of striking complexity, saline freshness, and powerful elegance, shaped by biodynamic farming and the unique terroir of Ritten.
