The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Meran
Meran (in Italian Merano) is a historic city and a recognized wine region located in the region of Alto Adige (South Tyrol) in northernmost Italy. The area is located in the Adige valley near the Austrian border and is characterized by a dramatic alpine landscape, where the vineyards are often laid out on steep terraces and mountain slopes. The region is bilingual, which reflects its historical affiliation with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and this is also expressed in the local wine culture and on the wine labels.
The climate around Meran constitutes a unique transition zone, where cool alpine air meets milder Mediterranean currents. The surrounding mountain ranges protect the valley from the coldest winds from the north, while the valley stretch acts as a natural wind tunnel, which ensures good ventilation in the vineyards. The large temperature fluctuations between warm, sunny days and cool nights provide ideal conditions for viticulture, as it ensures a slow ripening of the grapes.
The wine tradition in Meran stretches back many centuries, and historic castles and estates have played a central role in the area's wine production. The area is traditionally known for the local red wine grape Schiava (Vernatsch), which has its own specific subclassification in the form of Alto Adige Meranese. In addition, the mountainous terroir offers excellent conditions for the cultivation of Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir) as well as a range of classic white wine grapes such as Gewürztraminer and Weissburgunder.
