What grows here
Velturno/Feldthurns
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Clinging to the sun-drenched, terraced eastern slopes of the Isarco Valley, Velturno, known for its ancient chestnut groves, nurtures 16 protected denominations. This alpine microclimate, where cool mountain drafts meet intense Mediterranean sunshine, shapes the crisp profile of Alto Adige DOC wines. The steep geography demands laborious terraced viticulture, while the dry alpine air perfects the curing of Speck Alto Adige IGP and the baking of crunchy Südtiroler Schüttelbrot IGP. Even the orchards on these heights yield intense mountain stone fruits, distilled locally into spirits like the plum-based Südtiroler Zwetschgeler IG.
