Egna/Neumarkt

Historically a vital river-port and trading station along the Adige valley route, Egna (Neumarkt) leverages its unique valley-floor climate to cultivate exceptional vineyards. Within its borders, 18 protected denominations overlap, showcasing the area's diverse agricultural output. Most notable is Lago di Caldaro DOC, a red wine appellation limited to a zone of 18 municipalities. This alpine-mediterranean microclimate also shapes the renowned Alto Adige DOC. These steep, sun-drenched hillsides flanking the ancient transit corridor yield elegant, mineral-driven wines that have defined local viticulture for centuries.
