What you should know about South Tyrol – interesting facts in 60 seconds
High quality products

forty percent is red wine. Five percent of all awarded Italian wines
are produced in South Tyrol, which is considered the smallest
wine-growing region in Italy.
Milk
In South Tyrol there are as many farms as hotels. Their dairy
products are of organic origin and not genetically modified.
Speck
This typical product has a long history in South Tyrol and was
originally produced by farmers to preserve the meat. Still now
almost every farm has its own production Speck ham.

Italy’s northernmost province is known for its cultural diversity, the Alpine staidness combined with Italian joiede-vivre, as well as deeply rooted tradition. A holiday in South Tyrol, a region abounding with contrasts, between
