The South Tirol is different. German speaking, it was part of Austria until 1919 and still maintains its own culture, economy and just about everything else separate to the rest of Italy.
Naturally this includes viticulture with both the location and the grape varieties leading to highly individual wines grown at altitude in spectacular vineyards. Tiefenbrunner are one of the leading growers here, now in the fifth generation of family owners although wine production in the area is recorded back to the 13th century. Now run by Christof and Sabine Tiefenbrunner the estate remains dedicated to making wines of the highest quality from their 25 hectares with grapes from another 45 being supplied on long term contracts by local growers. The vineyards are situated at altitudes from 250 metres up to 1000 on steep slopes with winemaking being as ‘hands off’ as possible. The results are wines of great purity, balance and finesse.
