Varna/Vahrn

In Varna/Vahrn, where the Eisack Valley narrows into steep, sun-drenched alpine slopes, unique climatic conditions shape a distinct culinary identity. The sharp diurnal temperature swings of these northernmost vineyards foster the crisp, aromatic white wines of the Alto Adige DOC, a territory encompassing 52 municipalities. This dramatic alpine terrain also nurtures the traditions behind 16 protected denominations overlapping here. From these rocky heights descend the spiced, crunchy rings of Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP and potent fruit distillates. Varna’s position as an alpine gateway concentrates these ancient South Tyrolean tastes in one mountain bowl.
