Cantina Merano Burggräfler

About Winery and Wines

A winegrowing area like that of the city of Merano, its surrounding villages and the side valley of the Vinschgau, possessing such a wide variety of soils and microclimates and with a backdrop of snow-covered three-thousand metre peaks and Mediterranean vegetation, is in a position to offer a wide spectrum of varieties. The range of the Meran Burggräfler Winery is as varied as the landscape of the Meraner basin and the Vinschgau, offering a total of 14 grape varieties. The various training systems at between 300 und 800 metres above sea level support the red wine varieties of Vernatsch, Blauburgunder, Lagrein, Merlot and Cabernet and the white wine varieties of Gewürztraminer, Weissburgunder, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Kerner, Riesling, Goldmuskateller and Müller Thurgau. The native varieties of Lagrein, Vernatsch and Gewürztraminer have been mentioned since the Middle Ages in South Tyrol and from here have gone on to conquer the wine world.
