Good to know

South Tyrol produces a variety of high-quality wines, but which ones are native grape varieties?

The “Lagrein”, which has its origins in the area of Bolzano, and the “Schiava”, the most popular wine in South Tyrol. While the Lagrein delights with its garnet-red colour and a scent of wild berries, the Schiava is characterised by a fruity aroma which also features a slight hint of almond.

Why does the Lagrein appear so dark in colour? 

This is because the grape skin is thick and therefore contains more pigments and tannins. 

Which food pairings are most suitable for South Tyrolean wines?

Gewürztraminer and Riesling are perfect accompaniments for aperitifs, vegetarian dishes and freshwater fish. And while the Lagrein is an excellent match for game, beef as well as seasoned cheeses, the Schiava pairs nicely with bacon and traditional South Tyrolean dishes.  

Climate change requires new production strategies, what is South Tyrol up to in this regard?

The South Tyrolean Wine Consortium adhered to the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and is already strongly focusing on sustainable wine production, not only for ethical purposes but also as a straightforward matter of survival.
