Castel Sallegg | South Tyrol
Land and property around Castel Sallegg, show the traces of a distant and eventful past. Conscious of tradition and responsibility, the von Kuenburg family continues winegrowing today. The cellars in the castle bear witness to the fact that castle life and viticulture have always been connected. The hills around Lake Kaltern are ideal conditions for viticulture. Geological, geographical and climatic elements, together with the vines used there, form the basis for wine production of the highest quality. Georg Graf von Kuenburg can call many good sites in and around Kaltern his own. The fine fruity white wines are just as much in demand as the substantial reds. The legendary rose muscatel from Schloss Sallegg contributed to further fame. - Gerardo [TS12/25]
"Sallegg Castle is located above Kaltern and is one of the most magnificent residences in the Überetscher Land. Lavishly and meticulously restored, it is an eloquent witness of feudal times with its stately staircase, the magnificent halls and the extensive park that surrounds the castle. In the middle of the 19th century, Sallegg Castle fell to Prince Heinrich von Campofranco, who resided in Sicily. When moving to South Tyrol, the princess took a bunch of Moscato Rosa vines with her and planted them in Sallegg Castle in 1850. They yielded a wine that the Counts of Kuenburg, who took over the estate from Heinrich, could claim exclusively for themselves until the recent past, and which made all of Sallegg Castle shine brightly." - Dr. Jens Priewe (Die Weine von Südtirol)
