Here are being cultivated many “international” varieties, however the importance of autochthonous grapes is important and representative as well.
The production of white wines in Alto Adige reaches high levels of excellence, certainly among the best of Italy, characterized by the typical and pleasing acidity enriched by the exuberant aromatic freshness of fruit and flowers.
The production of red wines is also interesting and excellent, in particular the ones produced with Lagrein - the famous autochthonous grape of Alto Adige - and Pinot Noir, which is this area is capable of giving wines of absolute class and elegance. Gewürztraminer or Traminer Aromatico is another grape to be mentioned, as well as the many wines produced with the grape Schiava, in its varieties grossa, grigia and gentile, here known as Vernatsch.
