Cortina sulla Strada del Vino, on the Adige valley floor

Cortina sulla Strada del Vino, Kurtinig an der Weinstraße in German, sits on the floor of the Adige valley, just above 200 metres, in the southern part of the province of Bolzano known as the Bassa Atesina (Unterland). Around it is the farmed land of the valley plain, crossed by roads and drainage channels, with mountains on either side. The name comes from the South Tyrol Wine Road, the route linking the wine villages of the area.

As across the province, German and Italian are both official languages and village life runs in both. Public transport means buses: in the published timetables the number of bus lines serving the municipality is 6, and the report calculates the distance from each address to the nearest stop. When buying in South Tyrol, remember that some new homes are reserved for people resident in the province, so check for this kind of restriction before signing.

In 2023 there were 681 residents, up 3.8% on 2011. The estimated average age is 43.7, in line with the province's 43.4; over-65s are 20.6% and foreign residents 9.4%. Average declared income is below the South Tyrol average.

All 116 municipalities in the province of Bolzano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, and expected acceleration is about 0.057 g. On the valley floor, proximity to the Adige and the drainage channels matters more, and the report checks it against the official flood maps for the exact address.

Property here is recorded in the Land Register (Libro fondiario, or Grundbuch), the tavolare system, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. The report therefore cannot trace the land parcel and says so, while all the other checks on the address remain available.
