South Tyrol: A Jewel Among Italy Wine Regions
Though South Tyrol covers just 0.7% of Italy’s vineyards, it contributes nearly 9% of the country’s DOC wines - a remarkable feat for its size.
Vineyards flourish between 200 and 1,000 meters above sea level, creating unique microclimates that give South Tyrol wines their distinctive character. Many vineyards practice organic or biodynamic farming, ensuring sustainable production and top-quality grapes. With 96% of wines certified DOC, this region is one of the most prestigious among all Italy wine regions, making it a must-visit for travellers who appreciate premium Italian wine.

A Celebration of Italian White Wine
South Tyrol is especially celebrated for its Italian white wine varieties, which make up around 65% of the region’s production. The crisp Alpine climate produces some of the most elegant and aromatic whites in all Italian wine regions, including:
- Pinot Grigio
- Chardonnay
- Gewürztraminer
- Pinot Blanc
These refined whites showcase the freshness and purity that define the region’s winemaking tradition.
Bold and Unique Italian Red Wine
While white dominates, Italian red wine plays an equally important role in South Tyrol’s winemaking identity. Red grapes make up 35% of vineyards, with standouts like:
- Pinot Noir
- Lagrein - a powerful native variety
- Vernatsch - a lighter, fruity local favourite
- Merlot
These reds highlight the diversity of Italian wines, ranging from bold and structured to smooth and approachable.
