Südtirol Wein - Ein Weinanbaugebit mit Tradition
One of the most scenically beautiful wine-growing areas is probably South Tyrol in the north of the wine country Italy. The South Tyrol wine region stretches in the Eisack valley from Brixen via Klausen to Bozen to the southern wine village of Tramin and along the Adige river from Naturno in the Vinschgau Valley via Meran, Andrian, Terlan and then further west from Appiano to Lake Caldaro.
Among the most famous wines of South Tyrol are the autochthonous grape varieties Lagrein with 8.8% of the total area under vine and Vernatsch with 12.6%. But also the grape varieties Pino Grigio (11.9%), Gewürztraminer (10.8%), Pinot Bianco (10.2%), Chardonnay (10.2%), Pinot Noir (8.6%) and Sauvignon Blanc (7.8%) play an important role among South Tyrolean winegrowers.
