OVERVIEW
Geography
Alto Adige wines include some of the best Pinot Grigio in Italy. The upper portion of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, in northeastern Italy just south of the Austrian border, Alto Adige is Italy’s northernmost wine region. White grapes grown on the steep and chilly Alpine slopes produce zesty, complex wines. A native red grape, Lagrein, is grown on the region’s warmer hillsides and makes elegant and concentrated wines.
A bilingual region known to some as South Tyrol or Südtirol, Alto Adige maintains strong ties to Austria and that country’s winemaking traditions, so it’s a source of high-quality Riesling, Gewurztraminer and other Austrian-style wines as well as Italian varieties.
Varietal / Type
Every white wine grape variety can have myriad expressions, depending on where it is grown and how the winemaker chooses to style the wine. The same grape can produce both a dry white wine and a sweet white wine, one that’s crisp and refreshing or honeyed and mellow.
Most wine drinkers know the popular international varieties, like Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, which are made into white wine in most of the world’s winemaking regions. But there are hundreds more to discover. Think of the popularity of white wines like Pinot Grigio or Moscato, which only a few years ago were largely unknown to U.S. consumers.
