Alto Adige, in the far northeast of Italy, is a small wine region that makes incredibly high quality reds and whites. In this episode I discuss the unique terroir, grapes, and mixed culture of this region, with its heavy Germanic and Austrian influences.
I cover:
- The long history of Alto Adige wine
- The varied soil types and geology
- The range of climates and growing conditions
- The unique grapes (including Kerner, Schiava and Lagrein)
- The DOCs and subzones of Alto Adige
A truly beautiful and unique Italian wine region, and one I hope I've convinced you to explore!
