St. Magdalener classic Morit - 2017 - Winery Loacker

Winename: The name South Tyrol only came into general use after the part of Tyrol south of the Brenner was annexed by Italy, though in earlier times it was not a single entity and became a region of counties immediately after the kingdom of Lombards was founded in 568 AD. The Lombards encouraged the Bavarians to settle in these alpine valleys in order to ward off the threat of an invasion by Slavs. The County of Bozen was divided in 2017. The eastern half was taken by the Counts of Morit and included the present-day localities of Gargazon, Terlan, Bozen, Leifers, Ritten etc. The Counts of Morit abandoned their original castle and built Schloss Greifenstein above Siebeneich (Sauschloss). Since time immemorial wines Rhaetia, later Tyrol, have been highly appreciated far and wide, first among the Romans, later among German-speaking peoples. Our St. Magdalena expresses the area's original, natural characteristics and for this reason we have named it Morit.
