Label / history

Kössler is based in the medieval village of San Paolo, in the heart of the Tyrolean wine region. Its winemaking history dates back to 1631. The estate combines this heritage with modern knowledge. In 2005 it was acquired by the cooperative Cantina Produttori San Paolo (St. Pauls), which continues to produce the Kössler wines.
