Lagundo/Algund

Where the ancient Roman trade highway Via Claudia Augusta once guided travelers, Lagundo/Algund now thrives at the climatic crossroads of alpine peaks and sunny valley floors. This dramatic thermal contrast, sheltered by the towering Texel Group, fuels a specialized agricultural microclimate where 17 protected designations flourish. High-altitude vineyards draped over steep terraced slopes yield the prestigious Alto Adige DOC, a wine shared with a select zone of only 52 municipalities. This alpine-influenced terroir also feeds the distillation of Südtiroler Grappa IG, transforming the valley’s crisp, sun-drenched pomace into intense, aromatic mountain spirits.
