Revitalization of Borgo dei Posseri in Trentino

Overview

Borgo dei Posseri, a historic village in the municipality of Ala, has undergone a transformation from an abandoned settlement into a wine-tourism destination in the Trentino region of Italy.

Formerly known as Pozzo Basso, the site once served as a border between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After being largely abandoned in the 1970s, the property was purchased in 2008 by Massimo De Alessandri and Maria Marangoni. Following the death of Massimo De Alessandri in 2022, the estate is managed by Maria Marangoni and her daughters.

The site now functions as a winery producing various labels, including Trentodoc sparkling wine, Pinot Nero (such as Pinot Nero Paradis), and white varieties such as Müller Thurgau and Sauvignon Blanc. The destination offers self-guided tasting tours to the public from March through November.
