![]() ![]() In 2004 their first apple juice was born reinvigorating Thomas interests in ancient and rare apples, including the Wintercalville, the fruit that has a genealogical tree dating back to the Middle Ages! The Wintercalville, originally from Normandy, has long been on the table of the noblest circles. The proximity to the sun allows the fruit to reach a higher level of sugar and then to acquire a more intense aroma, well preserved by the acidity triggered by the sharp drop in temperature at night. Cradled by the fresh wind of the mountains and exposed to intense sunlight, his apples slowly begin to grow and with them the future of the Kohl family. We are in 1994 when Thomas, after finishing his studies at the agricultural institute, decides to plant the first apple trees in a valley at over 900 meters above sea level, which is quite extraordinary since apples usually grow at the bottom of a valley. Initially the work of the whole family was based on breeding and the production of milk and derivatives, but over time, they realized that it was not enough and that they had to find something else, experiment something different and innovative! Thomas Kohl, the eldest of three brothers and single male, takes over the reins of the farm and undertakes a new, perhaps seemingly insane road. Here, in a farm dating back to the early 1900s, the Kohl family lives. Come with me to South Tyrol, to be precise to “Auna di Sotto sul Renon”, a tiny village of 270 inhabitants near Bolzano. Today I will share with you a story of passion, innovation and quality.
