Wine is an
Italian Art

KRIS embodies this notion with its elegant handcrafted style, playful personality, and modern Italian interpretation of classic varietals.

KRIS’ beautifully designed labels are steeped in intrigue. They are the work of Riccardo Schweizer, a good friend of the winery owner, a native of Northern Italy and one of Italy’s most famous contemporary artists, who painted together with world-renowned figures like Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and other brilliant cubist and impressionist artists. Some say the name and design were inspired by one of Schweizer’s love interests; others believe it was a personification of the beauty, mystery and sensuality inherent in wine.

We invite you to interpret through your unique lens!

in Italy

The history of KRIS winery began back in the 90’s and since then we have been producing our wines with energy and passion. For almost three decades, we have been successfully exporting our wines internationally, especially in the US but also in other important countries.

As with any masterpiece, to truly appreciate KRIS is to understand its origin. Handcrafted in Alto Adige using grapes sourced from Italy’s most exciting growing regions, KRIS
is a product of modern technology and traditional winemaking artistry.

Nestled within one of Italy’s northernmost wine region, the KRIS winery in the Alpine town of Montagna reflects a unique combination of Germanic precision sensibility and Italian artisan flare.

The KRIS winemakers’ team has combined expertise and passion to develop a series of contemporary expression of classical varietal wines.
