Alto Adige Wines: The best wines in 2025
345 times top in Italian wine guides and competitions
The wine producing country of Alto Adige is characterised by its variety. This variety is reflected in the most recent ratings from the 15 most renowned Italian wine guides and competitions. The 345 Alto Adige top ratings are spread across 209 wines from 78 producers. The range of varieties is also broad and provides an interesting insight: Although white wines are in the lead among the award-winning wines - unsurprisingly in the white wine country of Alto Adige - the varieties with the most awards are two red wines, Pinot Noir and Schiava.
