More information on of Trentino-Alto-Adige flavors
Trentino-Alto Adige is Italy's northernmost wine region, located right on the border with Austria. Production was once dominated by the local red varieties Lagrein and Schiava. Now white wines are becoming more important in terms of Volume. Increasingly, they are made from internationally renowned Grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
Reflecting its Complex geopolitical history, Trentino-Alto Adige is composed of two autonomous provinces. Trentino is almost entirely Italian-speaking, while Alto Adige has a predominantly German-speaking population. The latter know their province as Südtirol (South Tyrol in English). This name is due to the former status of the region, which was Part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was recovered by Italy in 1919.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
