South Tyrol 2011

Our first trip to South Tyrol was not to be our last – there is no other wine-growing region we have visited more often. Why? Well, perhaps we simply love the combination of landscape, cuisine and viticulture. But it may also be down to the Morandell family of Haus am Hang, their hospitality and their help in arranging visits to the wineries.

On this first trip we were able to experience our first more intensive contact with the wines of South Tyrol. And of course unforgettable moments – Peter Dipoli, who was so taken with us that he suddenly opened a Barolo – or the singing guide at the Girlan winery and the tasting that followed, at which the guide was his own best guest!

In any case, this first trip whetted our appetite for more!
