The Alpine Wine Sanctuary: South Tyrol's Red Wine Renaissance

Nestled between the dramatic Dolomites and alpine valleys, South Tyrol represents a unique viticultural paradise. This northernmost Italian wine region produces red wines of extraordinary precision, reflecting a perfect harmony between mountain terroir and meticulous winemaking traditions.

Key Characteristics of South Tyrolean Red Wines:

Lagrein: The Regional Flagship

Dark, robust wine with intense black cherry notes and subtle alpine herb undertones. Grown exclusively in this microclimate, Lagrein represents the essence of South Tyrolean red winemaking.

Schiava: Elegant Mountain Lightness

A lighter, more delicate red. Pale ruby color with wild strawberry and almond hints. Incredibly food-friendly and refreshing, embodying the region's versatile winemaking approach.
