The wine-growing estates

Our grapes come from the vineyards of the Laimburg agro-business; from about 20 hectares of vineyards in various wine-growing zones of Alto Adige. The vineyards are located on the plain or distributed on hilly and steep slopes and are founded on very different soils: moraine gravel and alluvial soils alternate with primary rock and loamy limestone gravel. The grapes grow at altitudes of between 200-750 meters above sea level in different training systems such as pergola or trellis, depending upon by the need of the respective grape variety.

In its role as a model winery, Laimburg winery produces about 90,000 bottles of wine annually, with the primary concern of bringing the varietal character of the province’s 15 or so typical varieties to the glass.

The diversity of grape varieties in Alto Adige is also reflected in the range of wines produced at Laimburg Winery; in addition, a wide variety of grape varieties are tested at various altitudes in order to determine ideal vineyard sites. In addition to the classic South Tyrolean grape varieties, Laimburg Winery is also increasingly testing new or interesting grape varieties from all over the world (e.g. Tannat, Petit Verdot, Incrocio Manzoni, and new varieties such as Solaris and Cabernet Cortis) for cultivation and vinification in Alto Adige.
