Alto Adige’s terroir: the origin of great wines

To discover the character of a wine, we must first ask what makes up the character of a particular territory. Winegrowers refer to the terroir, a complex blend of the geographical, geological and climatic aspects; even cultural and social factors may play a part, as every variation counts. The climate, location, soils and people are the basis of Alto Adige’s terroir, with the potential for creating remarkable wines here, where Alpine and Mediterranean flora and culture intersect.

The formation process of the Alps has created a mosaic of very different soil types, shaping Alto Adige’s landscape in such a varied manner that microclimates can change within just a few kilometres.

Added to this is the work of the winegrowers and wineries who work with a spirit of innovation to ensure the quality of their wines, but always with a focus on tradition and sustainability.
