Alto Adige Visitor | CANTINA BOZEN
Join us for a Cantina Bozen tasting and meet Matthias.
Matthias Messner was born in 1991 in Bolzano and raised in Alto Adige -Italy. After studying in Verona (Italy) and Sydney (Australia), he served as Managing Director of the Consortium of Speck Alto Adige, a well-known smoked ham from Alto Adige, and as Director of the cheese factory Capriz, a local cheese producer in the premium range. Since mid-November 2022, Matthias Messner has been running the cooperative in collaboration with chief oenologist Stephan Filippi and chairman Philipp Plattner. “We have a duty to our 224 members, who do the work out in the vineyards every day,” he says, and he adds: “With the new winery building, we have created a landmark for Bolzano that underlines the importance of winegrowing for the province of Alto Adige.” The earlier generations, “our fathers and grandfathers laid the foundations for success,” says Messner. “Teamwork, growth, making the most of market opportunities, and leading our premium product into a successful future – these are my goals.
FREE TASTING
Come Over October | Wines to Share
Join Heather and me at the tasting table as we share Fall-fit wines you’ll find impossible not to share. As I hinted in my October newsletter, wines are meant to be shared and enjoyed with the people you love spending time with. Around the table with friends or family, or by the fire pit outdoors on a chilly night. Celebrating our time together is important. Creating memories is crucial for our longevity, so why not do it with a little wine?
Join us as we pour a delicious new lineup fitted for the fall and for conversations around the table.

Alzheimer’s Walk | Caffé é Nutella
wine-sense is participating again in the Alzheimer’s Walk to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Will you stand with us in this fight by joining our team?
In 2009, I joined the walk for the first time simply to recognize the importance of supporting a worthy cause. Today, with a personal connection to Alzheimer’s, I now understand the terrible impact it can have on loved ones. Come join us in the fight against this devastating disease.
We meet at Brickstone Square in Andover at 9:45 AM, by the start/finish line.
The walk and gathering will be in honor of my Mom, Norma Ettore, 1945 – 2025
Join our team! Registration is easy; visit our Walk to End Alzheimer’s page to join us. If you’re unable to participate, please consider making a donation to our fundraising efforts. Every dollar you donate helps provide care and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementias, and advances critical research.
After the walk, we meet at wine-sense for Caffé and pastries.
