Wine.
South Tyrol being alpine and mediterrenean at the
same time has a wide variety of different kinds
of wine. Some wines are made at an altitude of 200
meters, others at 1.000 meters. The mountains keep
off harsh North winds while the warmth comes in
from the South. The terrain varies from Dolomite
to vulcanic stone.
South Tyrol has about 5.000 hectars of vineyards
where the typical Vernatsch, Lagrein or Gewürztraminer
are made. But winemakers are also proud of their
Cuvées of Cabernet, Merlot or Burgundy which
they have been making for the last 100 years.
