Culturonda® Wine

The new cultural guide Culturonda® Wine opens up twelve routes to wine culture and the enjoyment of wine in South Tyrol.

South Tyrol is a tiny wine region in Italy, the world’s largest wine producing country, and enjoys a quality profile way out of proportion to its size. Some 20 grape varieties thrive in a small area and the resulting wines consistently scoop top international awards. Vernatsch, Lagrein and Gewürztraminer even originated in South Tyrol. Wine has been made here since prehistoric times. Culturonda® Wine delves into South Tyrol’s wine culture, its traditions and history from twelve perspectives – from mastery to savoir vivre.
The project embraces the South Tyrolean wine route, the Valle Isarco/Eisacktal valley from Bolzano/Bozen to Bressanone/Brixen, Merano/Meran and its environs and the Val Venosta/Vinschgau valley, both from a geographical and thematic vantage point. Culturonda® Wine comprises twelve themes: vinescape and architecture, terroir and the grape varieties which originated in South Tyrol, vine trellising and winemaking methods, the history of wine in South Tyrol, the role of vineyard-owning monasteries, fine dining and art, humorous wine legends and experiencing wine with all the senses.
Each Culturonda® Wine theme is accompanied by three specific recommendations: for example wine travellers find out why winegrowing in South Tyrol is such a patchwork and what it all has to do with the Nörggelen or wine imps. It recommends the best events at which wine in general and particular varieties can be tasted. A map is included to assist you to plan and combine your routes individually.
Like Culturonda® Dolomythos which features culture and the way of life in the Dolomites, Culturonda® Wine is part of the Culturonda® South Tyrol project. It gathers together South Tyrol‘s twelve cultural themes, among them the three language groups, Ötzi, South Tyrolean cuisine and wine.
