All around Bozen you will find the soft but still strong St. Magdalene wine, as well as the characteristic Lagrein. In the “Überetsch” region and the Etschtal itself, you can taste excellent white wines and the famous Kalterersee-Vernatsch. In the “Unterland”, with its home in Tramin, the Gewürztraminer is available as a fine and aromatic wine. And remember: The South Tyrolean wine road is Italy's eldest wine road!
