The Laimburg historical archive is known throughout the region
However, mountain winegrowing is an important
commercial lever thanks to the perceived value of the
heroic work of mountain winegrowers and the quality
achieved by wines from these areas.
Annual production is around 80,000 bottles. The wines
are mostly bound for the domestic market, along with
exports to Germany, Austria, Belgium and England.
LAIMBURG
The Laimburg Winery is a model for South Tyrolean
winegrowing and therefore mountain winegrowing. It
is part of the Experimentation Centre of the same name
and supports its strong commitment to research and
experimentation in the field of winegrowing with its
own production of high-quality wines. All of the grapes
used for the winery’s production are grown on its own
20 hectares of vineyards located in various areas with
differing microclimates and elevations in the Province of
Bolzano, between 200 and 900 metres above sea level.
One of the focuses of Laimburg’s research over the last
15 years has been to find the right microclimate area for
each grape variety, with plots ranging from the plains to
the hills and steep mountain slopes, home to different
soils. Choices are aimed at ensuring careful and stringent
vineyard management, with utmost attention paid to
each phase in order to offer the vines a balanced and
clean habitat.
