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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon.
