Even centuries ago, the monks of the Bavarian monastery of Tegernsee cultivated wine in Pianizza di Sopra, a hamlet of Caldaro on the wine road. The vineyards in the area provided the wine the Benedictines needed for themselves and for their many high-ranking visitors. St. Quirinus, the monastery's patron saint, gives the Sinn family's winery its name today. An organic and biodynamic farm, at San Quirino they are convinced that even a single bunch of grapes can tell the story of its growth and ripening. About the nature of the soil, the animal life in the vineyard, the wind and the weather. And they are also convinced that this information then passes into the wine produced. That is why in the vineyard, and in the cellar, they work with the utmost respect for the environment and delicately. Wherever possible we work by hand, so that we have direct contact with the vines. In the cellar, for example, we work using gravity, renouncing as far as possible the use of pumps. Traditional methods, however, are also combined with innovative and modern technologies. All done with the sole aim of enhancing the rich natural heritage of the estate.
