Castelbello-Ciardes/Kastelbell-Tschars is located between the mild Alpine-Mediterranean basin of Merano/Meran, the high Alpine glacier of Senales/Schnals and the windy but sunny Venosta Valley. Thus, it offers ideal conditions for high-quality
farm products and specialties. The village offers ideal conditions for high-quality farm products, including
asparagus and great
wines but also fruit such as apples and pears, apricots and berries. Castelbello-Ciardes is also home to great single-varietal fruit
brandies.
The wines are mostly produced by small
wine growers, who also run small
farm distilleries and
farmers’ shops, where all first-class products can be tasted and purchased locally.
