Viticulture in harmony with nature
One of the winery’s goals for the last 15 years has been to locate a suitable microclimate for each grape varietal. Laimburg manages about 50 hectares of vineyards today in all viticultural areas of South Tyrol, some on level soil, others on hills and steep inclines, all with drastically different soils: moraine gravel and alluvial soils mix with bedrock and loamy limestone. The vines are planted at altitudes ranging from 200-750 metres above sea level and are trained using either the pergola or spalier (guyot) suspension system, depending on varietal and the incline of the vineyard itself. Since substantial care for the vines is necessary for the development of healthy, high-quality grapes, every effort is made to provide ecologically balanced surroundings for the vines.
