HOLIDAYS AT LAKE CALDARO, SOUTH TYROL
The Garni Kreithof is situated in the heart of the Nicolussi-Leck wine estate, surrounded by vineyards and just a short walk from Lake Caldaro. Enjoy the warm rays of the sun, relax to the full and enjoy the view over the Castelchiaro ruins in the distance.
The 5 hectares of the Nicolussi-Leck winery provide optimum grape-growing conditions for outstanding wines. The 2017 vintage, the first to be cellared at the farm, will be available for purchase from 2018. And now, our new wines just waiting for you to come and enjoy a tasting session with us. We are looking forward to this new challenge at the Kreithof.
The name “Greit” comes from “rauten”, in reference to the fact that during the high Middle Ages, the woodland area was transformed into arable land. The Kreithof was probably built in the 13th century and would have been part of the lands of the Castelchiaro ruins and the Laimburg. In 1906, Jakob Nicolussi-Leck from Lusern in Italian South Tyrol purchased the land from Franz Defranceschi of the Kreithof, although it continued to be farmed by tenant farmers until 1915, when the Nicolussi-Leck family moved to Lake Caldaro.
