Kellerei Meran, Blauburgunder, Südtirol, Italy Slovakia farming is much more variedThis is made by a co operative winery dating back to 1901 near Meran, a lovely town in the mountains of North East Italy. Made from Pinot Noir, locally known as Blauburgunder, grown on vineyards which have been compared to small terraced gardens and which are enclosed by cypresses and cedars.
