The South Tyrolean Wine Route stretches from Nalles to Bolzano and the Oltradige, via the Bassa Atesina to Salorno. This area comprises about 90% of the South Tyrolean Wine production, including the typical varieties of wine such as the Merlot and Lagrein, as well as the Pinot Girgio and the Chardonnay. By the way, the South Tyrolean Wine Route is the most ancient of Italy.

By bike along the southern “strada del vino”: this bike trip leads us through the villages of the Bassa Atesina, from Termeno via Cortaccia, Magre, Cortina and Egna up to Ora, past vineyards and apple orchards. Ideal for a cycling tour or a bike training. Have fun!

Today we visit glorious residences and explore the centuries-old tradition of viticulture in South Tyrol. Our trail leads us to Cortaccia, located at the South Tyrolean Wine Road. We walk through a sunny landscape of vineyards, taste noble drops and discover the “way of life” of wine. Come with us, we show you a lovely piece of South Tyrol!

At 333 m above the plains of Val d’Adige nestles Cortaccia, with colourful vineyards, fruit orchards and mixed woodlands. The little hamlets above Cortaccia’s centre - such as Penone, Corona and Favogna at 1,000 to 1,200 m asl - serve as a popular summer resort for locals and tourists alike.

Those visiting Cortaccia shouldn’t miss the St. George Church in Corona and the enchanting gardens of Niclara!

Of historical importance is a copper furnace dating back to the 14th century. Parts of the valuable item are still found in the hamlet Fennhals above Cortaccia, which unfortunately aren’t open to the public. In the near future they will, however, be displayed on the main square of the village. The remaining parts are housed at the South Tyrolean Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.
