Wine from South Tyrol

Versatile and nuanced: red and white wines from Naturns & South Tyrol

Not only do people appreciate the mild climate in the Merano area, but the weather-sensitive grapes also flourish here, as if in a vast amphitheater surrounding Merano. Wine production in South Tyrol dates back to Roman times - even during the era of the Roman emperors, “raetian wine” was in great demand.

Most of South Tyrol's white and red wines are aged in cooperative cellars, alongside independent winegrowers. Over the past few decades, South Tyrol has seen the development of remarkable instances of modern cellar architecture. In addition to wine sales and tastings, wineries and vineyards in South Tyrol also offer guided tours with fascinating insights into growing areas and grape varieties.

Naturns has a long history of wine cultivation. This is evidenced primarily by the over 80 local self-producers on site many of whom cultivate small vineyards, process the grape harvest into wine themselves, or supply it to wineries. However, it was the commitment to quality by winemakers Franz Pratzner, winery Falkenstein and Raphael und Christine Burki, winery Unterortl Juval that made Naturns a destination for wine lovers and experts.

Naturns is notably recognized for its Riesling, considered one of the best south of the Alps. Once a niche product, Riesling cultivation in South Tyrol has firmly established itself over the last twenty years. This is attested not only by the more than 80 hectares of vineyards now under cultivation but also by the regular awards received by local winemakers and cellars in the most important Italian wine guides such as Gambero Rosso, Slow Wine and others.

Every year, Naturns hosts the national Riesling competition. A team of national and international judges selects the top 5 national Rieslings in Italy, alongside the finest Rieslings from each wine region! The jury focuses primarily on the highest quality and typicity.

From mid-October to mid-November, the “Gourmet Autumn” takes place in Naturns. During five weeks, gourmet experiences, wine, and pleasure are the main focus. Visitors and guests can expect an appealing and extensive event program. Look forward to evening tastings with South Tyrolean wineries, visits from winegrowers along the Via Vinum Venostis in Kastelbell, wine tastings with certified sommelier Franziska Steinhauser, or an exclusive gala dinner at one of our partner hotels.
