White Wines
White grape varieties grow in more than 45 percent of South Tyrol's vineyards. The tendency is climbing. With the white wines in South Tyrol, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay are at the forefront, with a total quantity share of around 60 percent. But nowhere else in Italy do the other white varieties like Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Müller Thurgau , Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Veltliner, or Kerner yield wines that are so fruity, fresh, typical, and filled with character. The future of South Tyrolean wines therefore lies especially with white wines. That is what winemakers and wine experts alike swear to.
