WINERY and WINE SHOP
Passion, knowledge, hospitality.
The SALIM WINERY was established at 500 metres above sea level in the Alto Garda region, surrounded by the lush vineyards of our farm, Maso Salim. The project combines boldness and fresh vision, with architecture and winemaking technology united to bring to life a great sparkling wine: Salim Trento DOC.
But Salim Winery means more than sparkling wine; it means a love for and understanding of the land, reflected in our wines, extra virgin olive oil and grappa. It means the hospitality you feel as soon as you step inside the winery and wine shop. It means wine culture and tradition.You can experience it yourself by visiting the winery and vineyard. It means hospitality, thanks to the nearby farm Maso Salim, available for guests. The Salim Winery is our dream and we are finally happy and proud to share it with you.

OUR VINEYARDS
Our Vineyards
The Salim estate is nestled in a unique location, 500 metres above sea level. Our vineyards overlook the Sarca Valley, sheltered by olive trees, facing Drena Castle and surrounded by holm oak and chestnut woodland, brushed by the breeze from lake Garda. Two and a half hectares of vineyards around the winery, and another hidden hectare in the forest, produce Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the only grapes we use for our wines. Work in the vineyard is constant, 365 days a year, involving care, effort, dedication, as well as passion and satisfaction. It is a slow process, starting with budburst in April and ending with the autumn harvest. Though working in such conditions means lower yields and greater complexity, the ideal microclimate and sun exposure allow us to harvest perfectly ripened grapes, and preserve that quality all the way to the bottle. As we are fully aware of the delicate, inseparable bond between this land and nature, we take great care with every aspect of cultivation, respecting not only the vine, but the entire ecosystem in which it grows.
This is why we practise shoot thinning, leaf removal, grass management through green manure – the planting and ploughing-in of specific cover crops to enrich the soil – as well as topping, and treatments based solely on copper and sulphur. All this makes our estate truly organic and respectful of natural rhythms. Our location near the wood provides yet another advantage, enriching the biodiversity of this idyllic place.

THE ENVIRONMENT AT HEART
Salim: a sustainable enterprise.
Agricultural techniques
We adopt practices designed to reduce the environmental impact of grape and wine production. These include sustainable vineyard management, soil conservation and the promotion of biodiversity, while reducing the use of synthetic chemicals and optimising water use. The goal is to produce high-quality wines while preserving vineyard ecosystems and the surrounding land.
Zero waste
At the Salim Winery we are committed to creating a circular system that minimises waste. The by-products of winemaking, such as pomace from pressing, are either distilled into our grappa or reused in the fields.
Energy saving
The Salim Winery is focused on reducing the energy footprint of its operations on the natural environment. The decision to embed the production area into the rock allows for naturally stable temperatures all year round, eliminating the need for external cooling or heating systems. Photovoltaic panels further advance our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future.
Certifications
Agricultural certifications officially recognise our sustainable and high-quality agricultural practices. Obtaining these certifications means complying with strict production standards, promoting transparency and trust in agricultural products. The Salim farm is certified organic (no. 20436721672, dated 07/05/2021), offering consumers the reassurance of making informed and ethical food choices.
But above all, Salim means great wines. We invite you to discover the secrets held in the bottles from our winery and to let yourself be carried away by the beauty of our land.
