White wines from South Tyrol

White grape varieties cover around 60 % of the wine-growing areas and the trend is still increasing. The most frequently cultivated varieties are Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer. The first two vines are distinguished by their juicy and mineral freshness. The aromatic and full-bodied Gewürztraminer is an autochthonous variety, increasingly delighting more wine lovers with its incomparable character.

Moreover, the wineries in South Tyrol also cultivate varieties such as Sylvaner, Riesling, Sauvignon, Veltliner, Müller-Thurgau and Kerner. South Tyrol’s white wines stand for excellent quality and variety, as there is a suitable wine for all occasions and tastes.
