LAIMBURG<br />
RESEARCH CENTRE<br />
THE LEADING RESEARCH INSTITUTE<br />
FOR AGRICULTURE AND<br />
FOOD PROCESSING IN SOUTH TYROL
OUR<br />
MISSION<br />
<strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre is named after the ancient ruin of <strong>Laimburg</strong>, a castle located on a<br />
mountain pass, known as the Kreit Saddle, on the southern Mitterberg Ridge. The Kreit Saddle<br />
connects Kaltern / Caldaro Lake with the village of Pfatten / Vadena. The hilltop castle was<br />
built in the 13th century and given as a fief to Heinrich Laian, a citizen of Bozen / Bolzano, after<br />
whom it was probably named. It was later managed by the Lords of Rottenburg. By the late<br />
15th century, the castle was already abandoned and beginning to fall into disrepair. <strong>Laimburg</strong><br />
Research Centre and the <strong>Laimburg</strong> Technical School for Fruit Growing, Viticulture, and Horticulture<br />
were named after these ruins.<br />

SOUTH TYROL FEATURES SEVERAL DIFFE-<br />
RENT CLIMATIC AND GEOLOGICAL CONDI-<br />
TIONS IN CLOSE GEOGRAPHICAL PROXIMITY<br />
At higher altitudes, agricultural activities mainly involve animal husbandry,<br />
grassland management, and commercial forestry. Fruit and wine-growing are<br />
concentrated in the valley floors, where milder climatic conditions and more<br />
fertile soils are to be found.<br />
South Tyrol is typically characterised by small-scale agricultural businesses and<br />
family farms. The competitiveness of these smaller enterprises is supported by<br />
strong cooperatives.<br />
THE GOAL OF LAIMBURG RESEARCH CENTRE IS TO PROMOTE SUS-<br />
TAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND TO ASSIST, SUSTAIN, AND FURTHER<br />
DEVELOP LOCAL AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES AND FOOD PROCES-<br />
SING COMPANIES.<br />
RESEARCH NETWORK<br />
<strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre is part of a<br />
research network of national and<br />
international partners.<br />
The research activities of <strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre support the entire agricultural<br />
and food processing sectors in South Tyrol – from cultivation all the<br />
way up to the finished product, from the valley floor up to high altitude.<br />
<strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre was founded in 1975 as a public body of the Autonomous<br />
Province of Bozen / South Tyrol. It is thus the main research facility for the<br />
South Tyrolean agricultural and food processing sectors.<br />
With its experimental activities and scientific research, <strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre<br />
creates know-how, develops practical solutions and innovative strategies for a<br />
sustainable and resilient agri-food system in South Tyrol.

and higher carbon capture rate, and we adapt cultivation methods to<br />
future climate conditions.<br />
SERVICES AND OPEN LAB<br />
<strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre offers services – analysis and consulting – in all<br />
areas of its research.<br />
The Open Lab Concept allows South Tyrolean start-ups and companies to access the<br />
Research Centre’s labs and equipment, and the Research Centre’s researchers and<br />
experts provide them with the support they need.<br />

„The fundamental goal of<br />
the <strong>Laimburg</strong> Winery is to<br />
preserve the individual<br />
character of the grape and<br />
transfer it to the glass.“<br />
Urban Piccolruaz,<br />
Cellar Master<br />
THE LAIMBURG WINERY<br />
<strong>Laimburg</strong> Research Centre also operates the <strong>Laimburg</strong> Winery, where findings from the Centre‘s activities in the field of<br />
viticulture and enology are pooled, enabling the production of our own high-quality wines. The range of wines includes all<br />
the representative grape varieties of South Tyrol: Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer are the main varieties<br />
for white wines, Lagrein, Pinot Noir, and Vernatsch for red wines. All the grapes come from the vineyards of the <strong>Laimburg</strong><br />
agricultural estate, which consists of approximately 20 hectares of vineyards in various wine-growing areas and features<br />
different soils and altitudes, ranging between 200 and 750 meters above sea-level.<br />
THE ROCK CELLAR:<br />
A REPRESENTATIVE LOCATION<br />
FOR THE WINE-GROWING REGION<br />
OF SOUTH TYROL<br />
The unique Rock Cellar was created in the late 1980s. About 4,000<br />
cubic meters of rock were blasted from the mountain‘s red porphyry<br />
using 5,000 kg of dynamite. A barrel cellar currently housing about<br />
330 barrels and a wine archive (with approx. 60,000 bottles) was then<br />
established. This is where the experimental wines are stored and where<br />
wines from the world’s most important wine regions are collected.<br />
There is also a vaulted room with 300 square meters of floor space<br />
– the perfect setting for official events to present the wine-growing<br />
region of South Tyrol.<br />
Companies, organisations, and associations have the opportunity to<br />
hold events here in the Rock Cellar. You can check availability and<br />
reserve this venue for your own events via our website
