Wine Region
The Trentino-Alto Adige region, situated in northern Italy, is known for its alpine landscapes, cool climate and diverse terroirs. Nestled at the foothills of the Dolomites, the vineyards benefit from long sunny days and cool nights, which allow for slow grape maturation and the development of complex aromas and flavours. The region’s varied soils, including gravelly and limestone-rich compositions, contribute to the finesse and minerality of its wines. Trentino-Alto Adige’s blend of Italian and Austro-Hungarian influences is reflected in its winemaking traditions, which combine precision with passion to produce wines of exceptional character and balance.
