Bottles to find

Trentino-Alto Adige is a wine region of Italy.

Lagrein leads the plantings, with Schiava, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, plus one more alongside it.

The ground underneath is alluvial.

The climate is continental, running alpine and high sunshine.

The vineyards themselves read as mountains, riverside and valley floor.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows rich and ripe, dark fruit and spice notes, occasionally produced and showcasing fruit and floral aromas.

Inside it sit Alto Adige - Sudtirol, Casteller, Lago di Caldaro - Kalterersee, Mitterberg IGT and Teroldego Rotaliano, plus five more.

At the table these bottles work with beef & venison, white fish, chilis & hot spicy food and tomato-based dishes.
