Bolzano/Bozen, the wine town
Bolzano looks back on a long winegrowing tradition. Today
more than 20 private wine estates and one winegrowers’
cooperative produce superlative wines grown on the steep
mountainsides and lower vineyards in and around the town.
The town’s best-known wines are red, above all the dark and
muscular Lagrein and the lighter, fruity St. Magdalener.
Spectacular south-east to south-west facing vineyards
overlooking the Bolzano valley basin range from cool high
altitude locations to warm sites the heart of the town. The
hamlet of St. Magdalena and its vineyards with the Dolomites
behind is one of the most photographed vinescapes.

Mary Magdalene the hamlet becomes transformed into a
fairground as wine estates open their cellars and plenty of
regional culinary delights are available with entertainment
supplied by local traditional bands. This is an excellent

From the grape to the wine
Nature sets the rhythm which repeats itself year upon year, from
pruning and tying the shoots to the flowering through to the
harvest. The first buds burst on the vines in mid April, after which
discreet scented blossoms develop quickly and soon become
embryonic grape clusters.
Throughout the summer the vegetation needs to be kept trimmed
and excessive grapes removed. The rest is up to nature, for plenty
of sunshine and sufficient rainfall are indispensable to obtain high
quality wines.
The potential quality of the wine is apparent at harvest time. The
grapes are crushed and the juice left to ferment in tanks or casks
under the expert and watchful eye of the winemaker. Each winery
has its own closely guarded secrets.
