The South Tyrol Wine Road
The Südtiroler Weinstraße runs from just south of Bolzano down through Caldaro/Kaltern and Termeno/Tramin – the village that gave Gewürztraminer its name – one of Italy’s oldest and prettiest wine routes. This is white-wine country above all: aromatic Gewürztraminer, precise Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, and, higher in the Valle Isarco/Eisacktal, Kerner and Sylvaner. The whites are among the best in Italy, and the co-operative cellars here are unusually good.
The reds, and Trentino
Alto Adige makes serious reds too: Lagrein, dark and structured, from the gravels around Bolzano, and the lighter Schiava (Vernatsch) behind the St. Magdalener/Santa Maddalena wines. South, in Trentino, the story turns to sparkling: Trentodoc, metodo-classico wine from mountain Chardonnay and Pinot Nero that rivals Franciacorta, and the deep native red Teroldego of the Piana Rotaliana.
How to visit
Base in Bolzano or Trento; the wineries are close and many welcome visitors. Guided tours and e-bike outings let you taste freely along the Wine Road, often with a speck-and-cheese pairing. Autumn brings the harvest and Törggelen; late spring and summer are best for the vineyards and the mountains.
