Loewengrube ★ 4.7
Loewengrube is Bolzano's oldest restaurant and one of South Tyrol's most respected wine destinations, with a 1543 inn above the medieval cellar (circa 1280). Sommelier service from behind the wine bar in the cellar; Alpine-global cooking from chefs Michael Meister and Philipp Mantinger.
The list: Over 1,000 wines on the list, including a deep South Tyrolean selection (Lagrein, Schiava, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Bianco) and verticals of the major Alto Adige cooperatives; medieval cellar (circa 1280 AD) below the dining room
Tip: Ask to be seated in the medieval cellar; the wine bar at the back pours by-the-glass flights from the deeper cellar bottles. Reserve a Saturday-evening sommelier-paired tasting menu.
