Winery Pfitscher | Montagna

How to reach the Wine estate Pfitscher 

The name Pfitscher has always been synonymous with a passion for making great wines. After all, we are in Montagna. Montagna is in the Bassa Atesina, and the Bassa Atesina is wine country! They couldn’t do anything else, even if they wanted to… Thanks to diligence and hard work, the exclusive family winery has positioned itself at the forefront of South Tyrolean winegrowers – with several awards and top ratings..


wines:
Sometimes capricious, even known to act like divas, but always fresh, honest and straightforward. These are our wines:

Tradition:
– Müller Thurgau „Dola“
– Pinot Bianco „Langefeld“
– Sauvignon Blanc „Saxum“
– Chardonnay „Arvum“
– Gewürztraminer „Stoass“
– Pinot Nero „Fuchsleiten“
– Lagrein „Rivus“

Superior:
– Sauvignon Blanc Riserva „Mathias“
– Gewürztraminer Riserva „Rutter“
– Pinot Nero Riserva „Matan“
– Lagrein Riserva „Griesfeld“
– Cortazo


The wine estate:
In 2011 when the Pfitschers decided to move away from the village centre of Montagna to set up a new winery, their main concern was to ensure that the premises were firmly embedded in their natural surroundings whilst retaining maximum functionality. Despite, or perhaps because of, its straight lines, the building was intended to sink into the background, leaving the stage clear for the real stars: nature, the landscape and… the wine. Simple shapes and a predominantly black colour scheme ensure that these leading actors are never out of sight. Through its enormous window facade, the tasting room offers breath-taking views of the South Tyrolean lowlands and the surrounding mountains. In the cellar, a trail of colours leads the way, ending with dark blue in the Blauburgunder (Pinot noir) cellar. Definitely a must-see!

Opening hours: 

Monday – Friday 8 am – 12 am and 2 pm – 6 pm
Saturday 9 am – 12 am *

* April – October also in the afternoon from 2 pm – 5 pm

Meseum of South Tyrolean Fruit Cultivation | Lana

How to reach the South Tyrolean Fruit Growing Museum

Lana near Merano is one of the oldest fruit growing villages of South Tyrol.
Map: Südtiroler Obstbaumuseum / Museo altoatesino di frutticoltura See map
The residence Larchgut at Lana is seat of the Fruit Growing Museum which has been inaugurated in 1990. This museum illustrates stages of fruit growing in South Tyrol – and of course especially at Merano and surroundings – by exhibiting items and machines and more than 60 charts. Media and models complete the offer. An exhibition area of some 1,000 sqm makes an illustrative and enjoyable presentation of the subject possible. Workshops on apples, e.g. how to prepare apple strudel, and other events also inform about fruit growing and fruits in general. Also old varieties of apples (more than 40) are presented.

Also methods of crop spraying and its development in the course of time are a central point in the presentation of apple tree cultivation. The “Braunsberger Torggl” is, however, slightly off-topic. This grape press dates back to the 16th century and is the oldest grape press of South Tyrol. The residence Larchgut includes an ancient residential tower and has been mentioned for the first time in 1301. Shortly before, the residence has been built by the Lords of Lana-Brandis. In 1530 a Gothic annex was added to the building.

South Tyrol is the largest fruit growing area at one stretch of Europe – 18,000 hectares and 50 million apple trees, resulting in 10 per cent of the European production in South Tyrol alone. One per cent of these apples come from Lana!

Program for children:

  • Children’s kingdom in the fruit tree museum:
    Those who find the “big” museum too complicated or just need a break will find a relaxed and child-friendly environment here to get to know the world of apples.
  • The children’s quiz:
    Tricky questions accompany the children through the museum. If the answers are correct, a reward awaits!
  • Guided tours for children:
    In July and August every Monday at 10.30 am and every Wednesday at 14.30 pm:
    Guided tour for children (5 – 10 years) through the permanent exhibition.
  • Creative workshop:
    From 1 July to 29 August, we have come up with a special program for your children. While your parents are enjoying the exhibition, doing handicrafts, playing games, we read exciting and funny things about apples.  So you can create your own apple paper, make cards, fold funny paper animals, make key chains, listen to our storyteller and try out exciting table games.

Please check this website for detailed information on opening hours and prices.
