  • Summary

  • 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!
