    Wine Bar Ursus Ladinicus - 300 Labels in a Converted Hay Barn

    This used to store hay for someone's farm. Now Luca Costamoling runs it as a wine bar with 300+ labels, preserved wood beams, a working fireplace, and locals mixing with skiers who just finished the Sellaronda orange route. Order a three-glass flight comparing Schiava, Lagrein, and Gewürztraminer — Alto Adige's indigenous grapes — paired with speck and local cheeses. Ask Luca about when the building actually stored hay, what year, whose farm. This is authentic Ladin wine culture without the luxury hotel markup.
