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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
