Südtirol Girlan-Südtirol 1976
The Südtirol Girlan-Südtirol from the 1976 vintage is a red wine produced by Kellereigenossenschaft Girlan-Südtirol. This Italian wine holds a D.O.C. classification, representing a Controlled Designation of Origin, and was bottled directly by the producer, indicated by the term Erzeugerabfüllung on the label.
The wine originates from the Südtirol area within the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy. This alpine wine region is characterized by vineyards situated among mountains, valleys, and cool altitudes. Trentino-Alto Adige consists of two distinct wine identities, with Alto Adige, or Südtirol, located in the north. The cool climate, significant altitude differences, and soils composed of limestone, porphyry, and stones yield wines with clear precision. The region is widely recognized for producing alpine wines with balance, elegance, and a strong local identity.
This vintage is crafted from Pinot Nero, the Italian name for Pinot Noir, which is also referred to locally as Blauburgunder. The grape is typically cultivated in areas such as Alto Adige, Lombardy, and Oltrepò Pavese, where it is recognized for producing wines with an elegant style.

Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Trentino Alto Adige
Trentino Alto Adige is an alpine-influenced wine region in northern Italy, where the vineyards lie among mountains, valleys and cool altitudes. The region effectively comprises two distinct wine identities: Trentino to the south and Alto Adige, or Südtirol, to the north. Trentino is especially known for Trento DOC, sparkling wine made by the classic method, as well as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Teroldego and Marzemino. Alto Adige is known for elegant, fresh and aromatic wines from Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, Schiava, Lagrein and Pinot Nero. The cool climate, the great differences in altitude and the limestone, porphyry and stony soils give wines with high freshness, pure fruit and clear precision. The region is known for alpine wines with balance, elegance and a strong local identity.
