Trentino-Alto Adige Wine:
Viticulture in the Alto Adige has ancient roots that preceded
the Roman Empire. This region's vineyards extend over the plains and hills
surrounding the Isarco Valley and the Adige River whose valley is Italy's
corridor to Germany. Südtirol (Alto Adige) is more Germanic than it is Italian
and although the Trentino in the south has an Italian culture, it too remains
more cosmopolitan, as exemplified in the international grape varietals so
popular in this region. The most famous varietals are Gewurztraminer, Pinot
Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Muller Thurgau, Riesling and Moscato Giallo. Trentino is
also responsible for Italy's largest production of Chardonnay and is a leader in
sparkling wines.
