The Schwarhof estate, documented as long ago as 1334, and the nearby Kohlerhof estate are both in the heart of the classic St. Magdalena vineyard area. The superlative quality of the wines produced here is due on the one hand to the climatic conditions and soils consisting of loess, sand and clay on the steep hillsides overlooking the Bolzano valley basin, and on the other, to toil and perseverance while working consistently in harmony with nature. Lagrein and Vernatsch (Schiava) red grape varieties are indigenous to South Tyrol while the excellent white wines are produced on the Kalter Keller estate in the Eisacktal valley. Rainer Loacker strives through hard work and endurance to create a source of happiness, satisfaction, a fondness for good company and tranquillity in a glass of wine. Loacker Schwarhof has long been managed on these principles and Rainer Loacker has gradually introduced biological cultivation methods since taking over in 1979.
