Trentino Alto Adige wines: Trentino Alto Adige wines on offer

Trentino Alto Adige , a small region in northern Italy, plays a decisive role in the wine production of our peninsula. Viticulture in Trentino has very ancient origins: it dates back to 2000 B.C., a period to which numerous wine amphorae found during archaeological excavations date back. It was, however, with the advent of the Romans that production experienced its heyday with the marketing of the wines produced throughout the empire. The blossoming and flourishing of the vines is due to the climate characterised by strong temperature fluctuations combined with wind drainage and favourable sun exposure, which give Trentino wines unique organoleptic properties with very intense aromas. Wine production is equally divided between black and white grapes. The main grape varieties include chardonnay and schiava, while red grapes include pinot noir, teroldego, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and lagrein. Finally, white grapes include pinot grigio, moscato giallo, nosiola and riesling. On xtraWine you will find a wide selection of Trentino red and white wines, all of which have received important awards from Bibenda, Gambero Rosso, Veronelli and AIS. The famous South Tyrolean white wine is particularly represented by the presence of numerous bottles from well-known producers such as: Abbazia Novacella, Alois Lageder, Terlano, Tramin and La Vis. All the South Tyrolean wines on offer are particularly suitable for meat dishes, shellfish, game and cheeses, enhancing their taste with every sip.

South Tyrolean Food and Wine Experiences: Unique and Unforgettable Wines

The territory of South Tyrol, also known as Südtirol, is a transnational gem that enchants wine lovers. This border between Italy and Austria is a perfect synthesis of two cultures, also reflected in the names of the grape varieties and wine cellars: Schiava or Vernatsch, Pinot Noir or Blauburgunder, Kalterersee Doc or Kalterersee, wine cellar or kellerei. This duality creates wines with unique character, a balance between the freshness of the Alpine mountains and Mediterranean expressiveness.

Territory and Environment: A borderland, an exceptional combination

The geoclimatic peculiarities of South Tyrol are extraordinarily suited to the production of high-quality wines. From the variable soils to the daily temperature fluctuations, everything contributes to an optimal terroir. Consistently, wine production is synonymous with precision, the result of technical innovation and experience. Renowned cooperatives such as San Michele Appiano, Colterenzio, Girlan, Nals Margreid, Terlano and others combine significant production volumes with excellent quality.

Oenological Excellence: Dream Red and White Wines

South Tyrol is famous for its impeccable white wines. Gewurztraminer Alto Adige is an intense sensory experience, with aromas of exotic fruit and rose petals. Semi-aromatic varieties such as Riesling, Kerner, Sylvaner, Veltliner and Muller Thurgau have gained popularity. Among the most famous whites are Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. Sweet specialities such as Moscato Giallo and Moscato Rosa also offer elegance.

For the reds, Schiava shines with lightness and smoothness, while Lagrein gives an intense, spicy red. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are well suited to mountain viticulture. The latter achieves excellence in the Mazzon cru.

Perfect Accompaniments: Wines for every gastronomic pleasure

South Tyrolean wines are suitable for every occasion. The young whites go well with fish dishes, from spaghetti with clams to grilled seafood. Gewurztraminer goes well with blue cheeses and spicy dishes. The reds join the local cuisine, with Schiava suitable with meat dishes and Lagrein with sausages and mountain cheeses.

Trentino Alto Adige

国家名称 Italy
历史 This region has two names because it is composed of two distinct regions: the southern part is Trentino which takes its name from the chief town, namely Trento, from the Latin Tridentum (old town hall) and the northern part of South Tyrol, so named because it is located in basin of the upper course of this river. South Tyrol is the German name of South Tyrol because until 1918 this region was part of the Austrian territory of Tyrol. Subsequently the region was called Venice Tridentina until 1948, when it took its current name.

典型菜肴 Trentino cuisine is influenced by the legacy of the Italo-Venetian tradition, even though over the centuries individualities have become more and more amalgamated. A specialty of Trentino cuisine is polenta. Among the dishes we find the dumplings, large balls of stale bread kneaded with milk, eggs, bacon, luganeghe, cheese and parsley, cooked in different soups (milk, eggs) or even dry preparations, in canederli de frito, from lean and white. In Alto Adige, a century ago, the cuisine was rather heavy, affected by the German-Tyrolean heritage, but then refined, quite lightened and now more responsive to the needs of modern life. Among the local dishes, starters are few, and among these we can mention the gems gefulltes, stuffed vegetables, tomatoes, zucchini, stuffed peppers with rice and minced meat, the hirn-profesen made of slices of bread covered with one layer of cooked brains. Among the salami you can taste the famous speck, obtained from the legs of pork, which are boned and seasoned with salt, garlic, saltpeter, juniper, bay, pepper, aromatic herbs and smoking, using sweet wood and fresh juniper bushes. Among the desserts there are krapfen and krapfen alla tirolese, with flour, olive oil, cream, eggs, jam and a splash of brandy. Follow the kastaniantorte, typical of the Bolzano area, made with crushed boiled chestnuts, mixed with flour, butter and sugar, apricot sknodels with sugar, grilled bread, potatoes, butter, flour and eggs.
典型产品 The DOC Trentino includes the entire valley but each area has its own specialties and autochthonous grapes. The geological and climatic characteristics are favorable for the cultivation of almost all white vines. Among the red grapes the most cultivated is merlot, but the autochthonous ones are too much loved to be abandoned in favor of imported varieties. Teroldego Rotalino is one of the great protagonists of Italian enology. In South Tyrol, the higher, often steep and terraced vineyards, such as the Val Venosta in the north-west, and in the Isarco valley (Eisark), in the north-east, are particularly suitable for riesling, whose aroma positively affects the strong excursion the strong daytime temperature range. Terlano, on the road to Merano, is famous for sauvignon blanc.
