What grows here
Martello/Martell
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising into the glacier-carved heights of the Ortler Alps, Martello/Martell leverages its extreme altitude and dramatic alpine climate to craft mountain delicacies. This rugged South Tyrolean valley hosts 15 protected denominations, preserving unique tastes shaped by thin air and cold nights. Among these, the crunchy Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP rye flatbread and the delicate Mitterberg IGT wines thrive. Additionally, the steep slopes nurture fruit destined for traditional distillates like Südtiroler Zwetschgeler IG, a plum spirit shared with a zone of 116 regional municipalities. Here, extreme geography transforms harsh alpine conditions into concentrated, pure mountain flavors.
