What grows here
Naz-Sciaves/Natz-Schabs
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated on a sun-drenched glacial plateau overlooking the confluence of the Isarco and Rienza rivers, Naz-Sciaves experiences extreme diurnal temperature shifts. This elevation drives the acidity of grapes destined for the Alto Adige DOC, a wine designation spanning a zone of 52 municipalities. Cool mountain drafts also concentrate sugars in the orchards, providing the base for spirits like Südtiroler Williams IG. With 16 protected denominations overlapping on this elevated shelf, the alpine terroir translates climatic stress into highly defined wines, stone-fruit brandies, and cured meats.
