The South Tyrolean wine
village of Eppan stands for traditional classics - and for innovative wines made from
Piwi varieties.
Roland Brunner visited the
most important producers and presents them.
In the wine village of Eppan, south of Bolzano, there are only a few self-marketing producers compared to the neighbouring municipality of Kaltern. However, these handful of farms produce a great variety of individual and at the same time traditional wines. It is important to discover South Tyrolean classics such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, which can express their elegant character especially in the high vineyard sites of the village. But new wines made from Piwi varieties such as Bronner, Solaris or Souvignier gris are also convincing.
