Tenuta Castel Englar

On a hill in the south of the province of Bolzano stands the best-preserved Gothic castle of all l&' South Tyrol. It dominates the surrounding areas, rich in vineyards and orchards. We are talking about Englar Castle and &' Tenuta Castel Englar farm. This enchanted place has been owned by the family of Counts Khuen-Belasi since 1640, just under 400 years old, and is located in Appiano on Strada del Vino, a municipality that is not surprisingly also called “Land of Castles, Lakes and Wines”.
The owners' family has always cultivated vines in the Tyrolean land and has been dedicated to wine production for generations.
Today the &' activity is directed by Johannes and Maria

Kuhen-Belasi.

Tenuta Castel Englar: the secret is the land

The Castel Englar Estate is located in a hilly area, with excellent terrain. Beauty also plays a fundamental role because the landscapes make the estate a suggestive and unforgettable place for anyone who visits it.
The territory at the foot of the hill is exposed to the East and to the South, with elevations between 450 and 550 meters above sea level. The estate covers 13 hectares, of which about 7 are cultivated with vineyards

.

The secret of the quality of their products lies precisely in the earth: the gravelly and partially volcanic porphyry calcareous soils and the hilly area with significant temperature changes are the ideal elements for a very valuable viticulture.

The wines of Tenuta Castel Englar: authenticity and purity

The vines present in the Castel Englar estate are both white and red.

The white vines are Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and aromatic Traminer, while the reds are Schiava (Vernatsch) and Pinot Noir.

The wines, all produced with their own grapes, are vinified at the castle and mature in their cellar.
L&' the company is in fact equipped with a cellar equipped with the most modern technologies. L&' current production capacity is about 30,000 bottles per &' year and is destined to grow.
The processed grapes are harvested in such a way as to guarantee the right balance between maturity and freshness, so that they can be processed in the cellar without additional additives. This is the perfect basis for developing pure and authentic wines

.

The Castel Englar Estate is a pleasant place that over the centuries, in addition to the beauty of the landscape and the story it tells, has always offered, now more than ever, a wide range of quality wines, produced in a territory that lends itself perfectly to viticulture.
