Apples in Naturno/Naturns derive their unique flavor thanks to the 315 days of sunshine a year. In the
vineyards around Naturno, wineries cultivate the white wine varietals
Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and
Müller Thurgau, and the red wine varietals
Vernatsch and
Pinot Noir. In the local farm distillery, apricots are distilled into a noble
Marilleler, or
apricot schnapps.
Due to the mild and dry climate in and around Naturno, not only apples, grapes and apricots ripen particularly well: there are also ideal conditions for
bacon production. For generations, the Moser family has been curing bacon according to an old family recipe in Moser’s Bacon World (Moser’s Speckworld) in Naturno.
The local farmers’ shop by the entrance to the Val Senales/Schnalstal Valley is perfect for those who want to sample and buy local produce from Naturno.
