South Tyrol is the little giant amid the wine colossus that is Italy. 20 grape varieties are grown in just a small area and the wines they yield are regularly showered with awards. Vernatsch, Lagrein, Gewürztraminer are native South Tyroleans. Wine has been made here since prehistoric times. Today science has long held sway over intuition in winegrowing and winemaking, though the South Tyroleans take a relaxed view. Between mastery and joie de vivre: Culturonda Wine will explore South Tyrol’s wine culture, its traditions, history and stories viewed from 12 perspectives.
