Description of Santa Maddalena Wine (Sankt Magdalener)
Santa Maddalena is a DOC red wine produced on the hills rising above Bolzano, in the area of Santa Maddalena (St. Magdalena). It is made mainly from Schiava (Vernatsch) grapes, often with a small percentage of Lagrein, which gives it more structure. The result is a light, fragrant red with notes of cherry, almond, and fresh red berries. It is a wine deeply connected to the vineyard landscape of the Bolzano basin and to the gastronomic tradition of South Tyrol.
Cultural significance of Santa Maddalena Wine (Sankt Magdalener)
Santa Maddalena is considered one of the wines that best represents Bolzano’s winemaking tradition. The terraced vineyards surrounding the small church of Santa Maddalena are part of the city’s historic image and tell the story of centuries of vine cultivation in an Alpine setting with a surprisingly mild climate. The wine expresses the area’s agricultural identity, where viticulture coexists with both Tyrolean and Italian culture. For many local residents it is the everyday red wine of the table, closely tied to home cooking and traditional taverns.
