Trentino Alto Adige Italy's northern-most region with Alpine borders on Austria and Switzerland is split into two distinct provinces: Trentino, around the city of Trento to the south, and Alto Adige, around the city of Bolzano. The difficulty of training wines over wooden pergolas on hillside terraces compels growers to emphasize quality. The dominant variety is Schiava. Pinot Bianco, Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Müller Thurgau have been known to remain fresh and vital for a decade or two, but the emphasis is popularly priced Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco which can offer outstanding values. |
