I feel the quality of whites wine from Trentino Alto Adige keeps improving every new vintage. Have you ever tried anything from Cantina Terlan, Cantina Andrian or Cantina La Vis?
take a look at the video on “A conversation with Dave Johnson” he is the consulting winemaker for the Intaglio Bianco. A lot of really great info from Dave. I have very limited experience with Italian wines in general
A German/Swiss varietal making headway in Italy, eh? I’m surprised the difference in climate is so good to it, although I suppose that region would be relatively close climate-wise to southern Germany. I can say for certain I’ve never had that varietal from Italy before.
The vineyard that they sourced from ranges in elevation from 850 meters to 1500 meters. Warm days and cool nights really gives it’s aromatic alpine fruit qualities
What about the Reds? I can not find it locally.
