Bozen: Not only South Tyrol's capital city,
but also a renowned wine region between the Adige and Eisack rivers!
The wine-producing region surrounding South Tyrol's capital city benefits from a sun-soaked basin and temperatures that can rise up to 40°C, providing optimal conditions for exceptional wines. Well-aerated gravel soils on the hillsides and alluvial soils in the valley are ideal for well-known South Tyrolean wines such as the autochthonous Lagrein.

Ritten, as a wine region in
South Tyrol, Italy, boasts 144.6
hectares of vineyards.
Here, above Bozen, the grapes
for Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon thrive.
This wine-growing region in South Tyrol/Italy gives the grape aromas of dark forest berries and cherries with a spicy note. You can taste this especially in Lagrein, which is grown in the Gries district of Bozen. St. Magdalener, on the other hand, is rather home northeast of Bozen and is regarded as the noblest and most powerful Vernatsch varieties. And last but not least the foot of the Rittner plateau is home to well known grape varieties for Cabernet and Merlot, which enjoy the sunny and very warm slopes at 450 m above sea level.
