A tasting gala of all the award-winning South Tyrolean wines

November 2019

These excellent South Tyrolean wines are international wine ambassadors and are a reflection of the rapid advances being made in South Tyrolean wine cellars and viticulture.

The VINUM-Hotels South Tyrol November wine letter is dedicated to the best-ranked South Tyrolean premium wines! The very best vintage wines will be presented on Friday 29th November in "Gustelier", at the HGV headquarters on Schlachthofstraße. The event: "Top of South Tyrol Wine 2019" where wines awarded with the best ratings by renowned Italian wine guides Gambero Rosso, Slow Wine, L'Espresso, AIS, Veronelli, Vinibuoni, Doctor Wine and Bibenda will be presented in an exclusive tasting session.

"Gustelier" opened in April 2019 and is already proving extremely popular with connoisseurs, gourmets and the gourmands of tomorrow.

"At 'Gustelier – the atelier for a taste experience' - we provide a setting where good, healthy cooking and dining are discussed and reflected upon, experienced and discovered, taught and even cooked," says HGV President Manfred Pinzger. This year at "Top of Südtirol Wein 2019" renowned international wine guides will also be present, including Robert Parker, Wine Spectator, Falstaff, James Suckling and Vinous. Guests of VINUM-Hotels South Tyrol will have the opportunity not only to taste exquisite sparkling wines, white wines and red wines from 4pm to 9pm but also to share their thoughts with other participants at the event. (Tickets can be bought directly at the venue, price €30, no advance online sales). Star chef Herbert Hintner, one of South Tyrol's most important culinary ambassadors, underlines: "With the new 'Gustelier – the atelier for a taste experience' we want to address not only HGV members and employees in the hotel and restaurant industry by encouraging them to join in and discover new things, but we also want to offer South Tyrol's residents a platform where they can obtain important information from nutrition experts on enjoying healthy, well-balanced indulgence."

"If there is one typology that applies to all South Tyrolean wines, it is the clear primary fruitiness of the wines. The primary aromas range from the delicate pear aroma of Pinot Blanc to the violet and almond aromas of Vernatsch wines to the blueberry and blackberry fruity Cabernet. Today, South Tyrol is a wine region to be taken seriously, worthy of comparison to the other larger and more renowned wine-growing regions. It produces high-quality wines with excellent vine varietal typical plants." enthuses one of the most distinguished German wine authors Jens Priewe over South Tyrol, the oldest wine region in the German-speaking area.

"Top of Südtirol Wein 2019" in "Gustelier" offers a unique opportunity for guests of VINUM Hotels South Tyrol who are as experienced as they are curious about wine, to finally be able to taste all the wines at the same time & "in one place". These are outstanding South Tyrolean premium wines, each of which has already been described so elegantly and sumptuously by leading wine guides that wine enthusiasts have long since been relishing the opportunity to sample them all!
