Wineries / Trentino-Alto Adige
Tiefenbrunner is a family winery in Entiklar, in South Tyrol. The sixth generation now works alongside the fifth. The estate is centred on Castel Turmhof, which is over 800 years old, and the winery counts itself among the oldest in South Tyrol.
The vineyards cover 77 hectares and run from 210 up to 1000 metres. That's a wide spread of altitude, and it lets them work with 12 grape varieties in very different conditions, from warm valley floor to cool high slopes.
The wines are organised into four quality lines: Merus, Turmhof, Linticlarus and Vigna. Guided tours take in the cellars and the pond landscape around the castle.
