The story
H. Lun originated as a quality label from South Tyrol when Alois H. Lun, beginning in 1840, started marketing wines selected from the region’s finest vineyards under his own name. After more than a century, the H. Lun label came under the management of Cantina Girlan, which maintains and develops it as an independent line while preserving its tradition.
Production philosophy
Selection of grape clusters by area and quality to enhance the expression of the terroir; production organized into two ranges with attention to varietal character. Recent commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Terroir and vineyards
The wines come from Alto Adige / Südtirol: an alpine‑continental climate tempered by abundant sunshine and shelter from the Alps to the north. Warm currents from Lake Garda and the Mediterranean influence the sunny exposures around Bolzano/Cornaiano.
