Toerggelen

Törggelen, this means to make acquaintance with the "nuien" (new) wine, in the autumn if the leaves fall 
and the days become shorter. However also not too much, although the word has nothing to do
 with "torkeln" but goes back to the dialectal name „Torggel" (for winepress). 

You can „Törggelen“ between Sterzing and Salurn, in the area of Meran and Vinschgau. 
However, let us say - not without pride - that actually that original South-Tyroleans Törggelen 
is at home in the Eisacktal.



After a barley-soup or a South-Tyrolean bis, Schlutzkrapfen or Kasnocken, you will have served a competent 
assorted meats plate, house-sausage, „Rippelen", „Surfleisch“ with sauerkraut and potatoes, 
or a Bauernmarende, South-Tyroleans bacon, typical cheese, fresh nuts, apples and grapes, fried chestnuts.
