The Winegrowing Region of Alto Adige

BETWEEN MOUNTAINS AND CYPRESSES

Alto Adige/Südtirol lies right in the middle: between Austria and Switzer-

land on Italian soil. Between Alpine peaks and a Mediterranean landscape.

Between the German and Italian linguistic worlds. Between cosmopolitan

curiosity and deeply rooted tradition. The allure of Alto Adige lies in its

variety and the harmony of opposites.

The “Three Glasses” distinction is the top score of the prestigious Italian

wine guide Gambero Rosso.

PERCENTAGE OF “THREE GLASS” WINES IN RELATION TO TOTAL VINEYARD AREA

SMALL AREA – LARGE VARIETY

Alto Adige is one of Italy’s smallest winegrowing regions. Yet thanks

to its geographical position, it is also one of the most multifaceted.

Wine cultivation stretches from the terraced slopes at the foot of high

Alpine peaks in the north to vineyards in the Mediterranean-like land-

scape in the south. Around fi ve thousand winegrowers tend just 5,300

hectares (13,100 acres) of grape-growing areas in different climatic

zones with variable types of soils and at elevations ranging from 200

to 1,000 m. (600 to 3,300 ft.) above sea level – a wide variety that

brings forth a considerable dense concentration of top wines. This is

confi rmed by a quick look at the leading Italian wine guide: for years

now, Gambero Rosso has awarded Alto Adige the largest number of top

scores (“Three Glasses”) in proportion to its total vineyard area.

ALPINE WINES WITH MEDITERRANEAN CHARM

Behind Alto Adige’s wines lies a great deal of work done by hand by

engaged winegrowers committed to the idea of terroir. What emerges

here are not fl ashy trends, but rather authentic wines with original char-

acter. It is especially the minerally fresh and clearly structured white

wines which belong to the peak of Italian winegrowing. But Alto Adige‘s

indigenous varieties of Schiava (Vernatsch), Lagrein, and Gewürztra-

miner are also currently experiencing a glittering renaissance.

Wine History and Culture

FIRST “WINEGROWERS” MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO

Archaeological fi nds of pruning hooks and ladles from the fi fth century

BC are proof that Alto Adige’s wine culture is among the oldest in Europe.

When the Romans ventured into what is now Alto Adige/Südtirol in 15 BC,

they were fl abbergasted. The indigenous people here, the Rhaetians, were

already storing their wine in wooden vessels, while at the court of Augus-

tus Caesar, they were still getting by with leather bags and amphorae.

REACHING ITS PRIME IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Beginning in the eighth century, Bavarian and Swabian monasteries

acquired wine cellars in Alto Adige in order to cover their own needs. In

the thirteenth century, “Potzner” (from Bozen, or Bolzano) and “Traminer”

(from Tramin) were the fi rst wines to be named for their origin. At that

time, Alto Adige wine also became the subject for artists and poets, such

as in a fresco in the Bressanone cathedral (40 km./25 miles from Bolzano)

or a poem by Oswald von Wolkenstein.

Alto Adige’s winegrowing was especially supported under the Habsburg

Empire. Riesling and Burgundy grapes moved into the local vineyards.

GREAT UPSWING THIRTY YEARS AGO

Starting around 1980, Alto Adige winegrowing began to experience a

sustained upswing. The making of single vineyard wines, the drastic reduc-

tion of yields, and the introduction of modern technologies and methods

provided a considerable boost in quality. Today, 98.8 percent of all of the

vineyard area in Alto Adige is under DOC protection. In that regard, Alto

Adige stands alone at the peak of all of Italy.

SNAPSHOTS IN TIME:

c. 500 BC: Archeological fi nds show that even at this time,

wine grapes are being grown.

1893: The fi rst winery cooperative is founded in

Andriano.

1896: The fi rst “Bolzano Wine Tasting Festival” – today,

the fair is still an important event for Alto Adige

wine.

1910: At around 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres),

winegrowing in Alto Adige reaches its

greatest extent (compared with nearly

5,300 hectares/ 13,000 acres today).

1963: A new law regulating the production of wines

with the DOC designation of origin contributes

to a renaissance in Alto Adige winegrowing.

1970: Recognition of the designation of origin “Kalterer

See/Lago di Caldaro”

1975: Recognition of the designation of origin

“Südtiroler/Alto Adige”

2007: Founding of the “Consortium of Alto Adige Wine”

2010: Passing of the new Italian wine laws

11

“In southern Tyrol, the weather

cleared up, the sun from Italy

allowed its nearness to be felt,

the mountains grew warmer and

shinier, I began to see entwined

around them wine grapes, and

I could begin to lean out of the

coach more often.”

Heinrich Heine, Travel Pictures III,

Chapter XIII (1830)

Wine and Architecture

NEW WINES, NEW DESIGN

The development of Alto Adige wine architecture parallels the reori-

entation of the winegrowing from simple table wines to exquisite,

refi ned results. In many wineries, the high quality of the wines was

matched by a corresponding architectural presence.

WINERIES WITH INDIVIDUAL STYLE

More and more Alto Adige wineries are making new architectural

statements between historic walls. For example, at the Alois Lageder

winery in Margreid, the Vineria Paradeis has come to life as a result

of careful restructuring of old barn areas. In these no-frills spaces,

classic design and modern art interact with each other.

ESTATE WINERIES WITH CREATIVE IDEAS

Alto Adige‘s estate wineries distinguish themselves through their

individuality – including in their architecture. In Caldaro, for example,

the winery spaces of the Manincor Winery were built beneath the

vineyard. Only the tasting room and the sales pavilion are set up

above ground – this is where the enjoyment of wine and the art of

architecture combine with an unsurpassed view of Lake Caldaro.

COOPERATIVES WITH A BOLD PRESENCE

Alto Adige’s cooperatives are also increasingly expressing their

extraordinary concepts through extraordinary architecture.

In Termeno, for example, the Tramin Winery building evokes the

framework of branches of leafl ess grapevines in winter. The unique

green steel construction symbolically includes the form of the

surrounding vineyard landscape. The Caldaro Winery has erected a

striking sales building in the village center. The Caldaro Winecenter,

with its glass and bronze-colored façade, is captivating through its

minimalist architectural elegance.

15

“Alto Adige is home to some of Italy’s most enthralling

wines, racy whites and seductive reds exhibiting compelling

personalities. This Alpine region is a linguistic and social

melting pot with a character all its own, and the wines

refl ect their cross-cultural home. Being distinctively (and

deliciously) individualistic, they invariably confound and

surpass expectations.”

Terroir

MUCH MORE THAN JUST SOIL

Terroir is the totality of all geographical, geological, and climatic factors

that make up the character of a piece of land. The manner in which the

local inhabitants perceive their surroundings also infl uences the integral

idea of terroir.

AS IS THE LAND, SO IS THE WINE

Alto Adige’s terroirs are as varied as its landscape: infertile slopes in the

Val Venosta, warm hilly areas in the Bassa Atesina, and Alpine vineyards

in the Isarco Valley. At a distance of just seventy kilometers (forty-four

miles) between them, it becomes clear here how different climatic

zones produce different types of wines. Alto Adige’s winegrowers take

advantage of this versatility, by capturing the uniqueness of every

growing area in the wine. Thus individual wines come into existence,

confi dently expressing their origins.

INDIGENOUS AND AUTHENTIC

Alto Adige’s indigenous varieties of Lagrein, Schiava, and Gewürztra-

miner can theoretically be cultivated anywhere in the world. But only

in Alto Adige, their ancestral area of origin, do they develop such an

identity and strength of expression.

“In just a short period of time, Alto Adige has become Italy’s

top white wine region. The requirements for this were the

Alpine-Mediterranean climate, the quality of the soils, and the

enviable locations of the vineyards. These fortunate conditions

have been transformed by those in Alto Adige into a success

– thanks to a generation of meticulous, diligent winegrowers

and the use of cooperatives with a wealth of ideas.”

Ernesto Gentili and Fabio Rizzari, Vini d’Italia de L’Espresso

Topography and Climate

ALTO ADIGE WINE® GROWS WHERE

OTHERS COME FOR VACATION

With three hundred days of sun per year and a mild, Alpine-con-

tinental climate, Alto Adige/Südtirol is not only one of Europe’s

most popular vacation spots, it is also an outstanding winegrow-

ing region.

BETWEEN THE ALPS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN

The towering peaks of the Alps protect Alto Adige in the north

from cold winds, while towards the south, the province is open

to Mediterranean infl uences. As a result, there are signifi cant

day-night temperature swings, with an average temperature of

18° C. (64° F.) during the growing season as well as suffi cient

precipitation. These are the ideal conditions for high-quality

grapes with a broad spectrum of aromas.

TO EACH VINEYARD ITS OWN MICROCLIMATE

The topography of Alto Adige’s winegrowing area is like a

complex mosaic. The province is characterized by mountains

and valleys, so vineyards have different exposures, at different

elevations, and thus also different microclimates. Striking dif-

ferences can even be observed from village to village. Because

Alto Adige vineyards are cultivated at elevations ranging from

200 to 1,000 m. (600 to 3,300 ft.), winegrowers work in a broad

range of microclimates. This unique breadth of terroirs makes it

possible to grow around twenty different grape varieties.

25

The averages over many years (1965-2009) were measured at the Laimburg weather

station at an elevation of 222 meters (728 feet) above sea level. They are proof of the

nearly ideal conditions for winegrowing in Alto Adige/Südtirol.

Geology and Soils

A COLORFUL MOSAIC OF SOILS

The geological composition of Alto Adige’s winegrowing area often

changes at minimal distances, from one vineyard to another. The soils

on which the grapes for Alto Adige wines grow range from volcanic

porphyry to weathered primitive rock soils composed of quartz and

mica to limestone and dolomite to sandy marl.

A part of the Alto Adige vineyard area is located on rock debris and

scree cones. These are deep soils that are distant from groundwater.

In these locations, the deep-rooted grapevines have considerable

room to expand their roots and thus can survive even long dry spells

relatively unscathed.

The remaining Alto Adige vineyard area is located on slopes and

terraces. Moraine deposits predominate here, with the changeable

geological composition of these areas resulting in very different

soils. It is generally very diffi cult for roots to penetrate these soils,

and the water permeability of the soil is often very low.

THE SOIL DETERMINES THE GRAPE VARIETY

Thanks to consistent research into the various types of soils, Alto

Adige’s winegrowers today know precisely which varieties will best

fl ourish on which subsoils. For instance, the indigenous Lagrein

prefers warm soils composed of gravel and sand, while Gewürz-

traminer, which likewise originated in Alto Adige, reaches its full

potential in loamy soils that are rich in lime.

UNIQUE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD: DOLOMITE LIME

The stony soils composed of Dolomite lime, which are mostly found

in the southern part of Alto Adige/Südtirol, trace their origin to the

world-famous Dolomite Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

since 2009. As a result of their high mineral content, the warm,

highly water-permeable soils are particularly well-suited to growing

of grapes that create wines of great character.

27

28

The Seven Winegrowing Zones

SMALL – BUT ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

The cultivation area of Alto Adige wine ranges over a

length of just seventy kilometers (forty-four miles). And

yet in spite of that, on just these 5,300 hectares (13,100

acres) of vineyard area, a surprising variety comes to light.

Numerous climatic zones and soil types, changing exposures,

and a variety of elevations all combine to create completely

different vineyards. But the winegrowing culture also changes

from zone to zone, such as the suitability for certain grape

varieties.

SEVEN FACETS, ONE IDENTITY

The division of Alto Adige/Südtirol into seven viticultural

areas expresses all these subtle differences, although the

similarities outweigh the differences. Alto Adige’s wine

producers thus speak of seven facets of a common

winemaking personality.

Bassa Atesina:

Gewürztraminer beneath the Cypresses

29

The southernmost cultivation area of Alto Adige is not only the

largest, but also the warmest. The mild infl uence from the south

allows the growing of late-ripening varieties here such as Cabernet

Sauvignon that yield full-bodied, well-balanced wines. The villages

of Mazzon and Montagna are regarded as strongholds of Pinot Noir.

In Termeno, home of Gewürztraminer, the grape is experiencing an

upswing that is creating international enthusiasm.

Oltradige:

Idyllic Vines among the Castles

The heart of the Alto Adige winegrowing region: Lake Caldaro,

with its gently rolling vineyards and historic castles. The two most

important winegrowing communities in Alto Adige are located in

this fertile area – Appiano and Caldaro, both with a long Schiava

tradition. In valley vineyards well-structured Merlot and Cabernet

ripen, while at higher elevations, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer,

Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir are grown.

Bolzano:

A Warm, Fertile Basin in the Alps

Alto Adige’s capital city, Bolzano, lies in the midst of a broad basin

bathed in sun. Two of the most prestigious, indigenous varieties

grow here: S. Maddalena, the strongest and most noble Schiava

that Alto Adige has to offer, and Lagrein. With its aromas of dark

berries, cherries, and violets, combined with spice tones from

aging in small oak casks, Lagrein from Gries is celebrated at the

international level.

Adige Valley:

The Land of Enduring White Wines

Around the wine villages of Terlano, Nalles, and Andriano, the

landscape is characterized by the striking red porphyry weath-

ered soils. In these dry soils, the grapevines need to form deep

roots in order to get enough water. Alto Adige white grapes

thrive here. The area produces age-worthy white such as Pinot

Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, mineral-rich, well-structured wines

with fi nesse.

Merano:

The Noble Spa and Wine Landscape

The spa town of Merano has also made a name for itself as a

winegrowing area. The extremely mild, balanced climate and the

sandy soils create the perfect conditions for winegrowing. The DOC

designation “Alto Adige Meranese” (“Südtirol Meraner”) is valid

for all Schiava wines that grow in the vicinity of the city. Recently,

Pinot Noir and Merlot have also come to feel at home in the land

around Merano, producing very drinkable wines with bright acidity.

and Müller Thurgau grapes produce mineral-rich, drinkable wines

with a stimulating interplay of acidity, while Kerner and Riesling

The Val Venosta is one of the driest valleys in the Alps, receiving only

about half as much precipitation as the Bassa Atesina. Originally a

paradise for apples, the Val Venosta has been experiencing an up-

swing as a wine region since 1995, particularly since it attained DOC

status in 1995. A “cool climate” cultivation of grapes is carried out on

infertile, sandy soil, producing subtle wines. In addition to Riesling and

Pinot Blanc, the Val Venosta has also discovered Pinot Noir.

45% 55%

VINEYARD AREA BY VARIETY INDIGENOUS AND INTERNATIONAL

White grape varieties grow in more than 55 percent of Alto Adige’s

vineyards. The trend is growing. With the white wines, Pinot

Grigio, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc are at the

forefront, with a total quantity share of around 70 percent. They

are followed by Sauvignon Blanc, Müller Thurgau, Sylvaner, Kerner,

Riesling, and Veltliner.

Along with the two indigenous red wine varieties of Schiava and

Lagrein, all other classic grape varieties have been cultivated in

Alto Adige/Südtirol for far more than a hundred years: Pinot Noir,

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc also thrive here.

Nearly 45 percent of Alto Adige’s total grape growing area is

planted with red wine varieties.

THE RARITIES: SPARKLING WINE AND DESSERT WINE

One rare specialty is Alto Adige sparkling wine, produced from

Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Alto Adige dessert

wines, usually made from Moscato Rosa, Moscato Giallo, or

Gewürztraminer, are regularly all the rage at competitions.

The White Wines

UNIQUE IN THEIR CLASS

Alto Adige’s white wines are at the very peak of Italian wine-

growing quality. Above all else, the varieties of Pinot Blanc

and Sauvignon Blanc create crisp, fresh wines. When aged

in small oak casks, the Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio of this

province yield complex, prized wines in the international style.

In addition to the indigenous Gewürztraminer, the varieties of

Müller Thurgau, Sylvaner, Riesling, Veltliner, and Kerner

are cultivated.

40

41

Pinot Blanc

Pinot Blanc was apparently cultivated in Alto Adige/Südtirol for the fi rst

time in 1850. Since it developed magnifi cently within the province, it

joined Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc as the leading white wine

grape varieties in the area.

With an elegant scent of apples and lively acidity, Pinot Blanc is the

perfect everyday wine. To preserve the variety’s fruitiness and fi nesse,

winemakers use oak very sparingly.

Chardonnay

In the 1980s, Chardonnay experienced an enormous boost in popularity. In

Alto Adige, the grape expresses its classic qualities.

It is captivating through its fi ne acidity and its elegant interplay of aromas

of pineapple, bananas, apples, pears, citrus fruit, caramel, vanilla, and but-

ter. Its palette can range from the fresh, fruity, linear qualities of the ver-

sions vinifi ed in stainless steel to the complex selections suitable for aging

which are fermented in small oak casks and allowed to mature on fi ne lees.

Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer originates from the Alto Adige winegrowing village of

Tramin. “Traminer” was a term known throughout the entire German-

speaking world as early as the thirteenth century. Today it is one of

Alto Adige’s most popular wines. Its spectrum of scents, with notes of

rose petals, cloves, lychees, and other tropical fruits, makes Gewürztra-

miner the absolute embodiment of an aromatic wine variety. With its

intense color, comparatively high alcohol content, and luxuriant texture,

Gewürztraminer is the epitome of a meditation wine.



Cultivation zone:

Primarily in the Bassa Atesina, but also in other winegrowing

areas of Alto Adige

Growing method:

43

Pinot Grigio

Originating from the large Burgundy family, Pinot Grigio is currently the

most cultivated white wine variety in Alto Adige/Südtirol. Pinot Grigio

is a medium-bodied white wine with warm, fl owery aromas resembling

linden blossoms. The variety demonstrates different characteristics

depending upon its zone of cultivation. The spectrum ranges from slim,

fresh wines in the Val Venosta to Pinot Grigios with a certain mineral

quality in the Adige Valley to the bright, richer versions from Bolzano

and the Oltradige.

Strong-fl avored fi sh dishes, Alto Adige specialties

Riesling

This noble variety from Germany was brought to Alto Adige/Südtirol in

the nineteenth century. In contrast to German wines, these Rieslings

are fermented dry, for the most part leaving little or no residual sugar.

Especially in the cooler regions of the Isarco Valley and the Val Venosta,

Rieslings emerge with fi ne peach and citrus aromas and a lively, bright

acidity.



Cultivation zone:

For the most part in the Isarco Valley and Val Venosta

Veltliner

It was primarily Austrian winegrowers who made Grüner Veltliner

viable at the international level. In Alto Adige/Südtirol, its cultiva-

tion is concentrated in the Isarco Valley. By means of new winery

technology and consistent restrictions on yield, Veltliner has de-

veloped into is a fresh and fruity, pleasantly spicy wine with subtle

aromas of fl owers and herbs.

Sylvaner

In Alto Adige/Südtirol, Sylvaner is cultivated almost exclusively in

the Isarco Valley, where it grows well on the cool terraced slopes from

500 to 700 m. (1,600 to 2,300 ft.) that are at the same time bathed in

sunshine. At these elevations, the variety develops both suffi cient

body and a robust acidity. An earthy, mineral scent is typical of Sylvaner,

accompanied by aromas of fresh herbs or hay.

Kerner

Thanks to its resistance to frost, the hybrid of Trollinger and Riesling,

named after the German poet Justinus Kerner, is planted primarily at

higher elevations of the Isarco Valley and the Val Venosta. This grape

produces sleek, spicy wines with a slight hint of nutmeg. With its

abundant aromas and refi ned fruitiness, Kerner has the potential to

become a new point of pride for Alto Adige wine.

Müller-Thurgau

Named after the Swiss vine researcher Hermann Müller from Thurgau,

this hybrid that has achieved worldwide success produces especially

lively, aromatic white wines. Along with its typical aroma of nutmeg, in

the Isarco Valley the grape produces a scent of elder blossoms, in the

warmer Alto Adige Lowlands the wines have notes of nuts and stone

fruits, while in the Val Venosta, mineral tones and a slight scent of apple

prevail.

Moscato Giallo

It is highly possible that the Romans brought Moscato Giallo to Alto Adige/

Südtirol when they ventured into the valleys inhabited by the ancient

Rhaetians in 15 BC. Today, the grape is grown in warm areas of the Adige

Valley. With its pleasing aromas and prominently sweet fl avor, Moscato

Giallo is a popular dessert wine. And when vinifi ed as a dry wine, it makes

the perfect aperitif.

genuine personality and a certain regularity. Extraordi-

nary wineries and pragmatic, effi cient cooperatives are

setting new standards with them.”

Pierluigi Gorgoni, Spirito di Vino

The Red Wines

SOMETIMES FRUITY, SOMETIMES COMPLEX

Along with the two indigenous red wine varieties of Schiava

and Lagrein, classic grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Merlot,

Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc are also cultivated

in Alto Adige/Südtirol. Cuvées of Bordeaux varieties compete

with wines at the highest international level, in terms of versa-

tility, concentration, and age-worthiness.

47

48

Schiava (Vernatsch)

This indigenous grape variety had its fi rst documented historical men-

tion at the end of the Middle Ages, and it has played a central role

in Alto Adige/Südtirol winegrowing since the sixteenth century. The

Schiava grape produces a light wine low in tannins, with moderate

alcohol content and individual character that is typical of the area.

For example, S. Maddalena wine is considered fuller in body, the Lago

di Caldaro is softer, and the Meranese is somewhat spicy.

Pinot Noir

The Burgundian king among red wines has been grown in Alto Adige/

Südtirol since the middle of the nineteenth century. When planted in

vineyards of medium elevation that are not too dry, this variety reveals

it full potential, yielding well-structured wines that are often amazingly

close to their models in Burgundy. Typical Alto Adige Pinot Noirs have a

rich and intense aromas of dark berries, spice, and violets.

Merlot

Merlot was fi rst planted in Alto Adige/Südtirol along with other

Bordeaux varieties around 120 years ago. This early-ripening variety

is planted primarily in warm locations on deep, chalky soils. It yields

fruity, full-bodied, charming wines with soft, ripe tannins.

Lagrein

In addition to Pinot Noir and Schiava, this is one of Alto Adige’s leading

red wine varieties. Lagrein is an indigenous wine fi lled with character.

Its origins are deeply rooted in Bolzano, and it has recently experienced

a genuine renaissance. Lagrein is impressive with its aromas of berries,

fresh cherries, and violets. On the palate, it demonstrates a velvety body

and soft acidity. After aging in small oak casks, tones of spice lend the top

selections additional charm and character. A rosé version of the grape is

also made, known as “Lagrein Kretzer” (or “Lagrein Rosato”).

Cabernet

The Cabernet varieties have been right at home in Alto Adige/Südtirol

for around 150 years. As a result of a consistent reduction in yields, the

Cabernet of today demonstrates aromas of black currants, blackberries,

and spice. A hint of black pepper contributes to its complexity. Thanks

to its dense structure, Cabernet is among the most age-worthy red

wines in Alto Adige.

Moscato Rosa

Moscato Rosa came to Alto Adige/Südtirol from Sicily in 1851.

Today, this full-bodied, aromatic, and complex dessert wine with its

intense perfume of roses is a much in-demand specialty. Moscato

Rosa is temperamental and produces only minimal yields of natu-

rally sweet grapes that are fermented like red wines.

Niche Varieties

In Alto Adige/Südtirol, small quantities are also planted of the

Malvasia and Italian Riesling varieties, both of which produce

DOC wines. Malvasia is a natural hybrid of Red Veltliner and

Sylvaner. It is light red with salmon-colored refl ections and has

discreet, pleasantly fl oral aromas. Italian Riesling is a fresh,

lively wine that is light yet clearly characterized by acidity.

Occasionally, Alto Adige grape varieties from earlier times are

still found, such as Fraueler, Blatterle, or Versoaln. In the Val

Venosta, there are a few winegrowers who are working with

the Fraueler variety, and by rigorously reducing yields, they are

bringing out authentically drinkable wines. And in the Isarco

Valley, the Zweigelt variety is cultivated in small quantities. All

of these rarities represent only a few tenths of a percent of the

total winegrowing area of Alto Adige.

“Alto Adige is not only one of Europe’s most scenic Alpine

regions, but it is also home to some of the world’s most

delicious wines. One could spend a lifetime there savoring

succulent interpretations of well known vino varieties

including Chardonnay and Cabernet, as well as fascinating

wines that are unique to this region (try Lagrein – you’ll fall

in love with it!)”

Marguerite Thomas, The Wine News and Wine Review Online

52

Cuvées

WINEMAKER COMPOSITION

Many of the renowned Alto Adige wines with geographic desig-

nations such as “Terlano”, “Lago di Caldaro”, or “S. Maddalena”

have always been blends from the very start. With the trend

toward single varietal wines, cuvées fell somewhat out of favor

for quite some time. Today, cuvees are experiencing an exciting

renaissance.

WHITE CUVÉES: NOBLE BLENDS

Alto Adige‘s white blends are among the region’s most presti-

gious wines. White blends are mostly made from Chardonnay,

Pinot Blanc, or Pinot Grigio. Aromatic varieties such as Sauvignon

Blanc or Gewürztraminer often round out the blends.

RED CUVÉES: POWERFUL BLENDS

Alto Adige’s newest red blends are oriented toward the Bordeaux

model and are made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and

Merlot. Interesting results have also been obtained by blending

wines of traditional Bordeaux grapes with the indigenous Lagrein

variety.

53

Sparkling Wine

A BUBBLY SUCCESS

The Bolzano Wine Tasting Festival of 1911 marked the debut of

Alto Adige’s fi rst sparkling wine. Today, the region’s sparkling

wine producers release around 200,000 bottles per year.

HIGH ELEVATIONS, HIGH QUALITY

Surrounded by the Alps, the region of Alto Adige has ideal condi-

tions for producing superior sparkling wine, especially at higher

elevations where the grapes can develop suffi cient acidity. Thus

after their second fermentation in the bottle, the wines can also

still develop that exuberant freshness expected of fi ne sparkling

wines.

ALTO ADIGE SPARKLING WINE ACCORDING

TO THE CLASSIC METHOD

As the base wines for sparkling wines, the three classic Burgundy

varieties of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir are used. All

Alto Adige sparkling wines are produced only according to the

classic méthode champenoise bottle fermentation process. By law,

after the second fermentation the wine must rest on the lees

in bottle for at least fi fteen months. Generally this bottle aging

actually lasts two to three years.

54

“We Cultivate Our Own Style”

Cultivation

LESS QUANTITY, MORE QUALITY

The quality of the wine is rooted in the vineyard. For years, Alto

Adige’s winegrowers have been drastically limiting their yields in

order to raise the quality of their grapes. The consistent conver-

sion from the classic pergola trellis to modern wire frame (Guyot)

trellises has led to the grapevines growing in intense competi-

tion with each other, which only supports quality. In this system,

a single vine produces far fewer grapes, but they are much more

concentrated. In addition, increased collaboration between the

winegrowers with consulting and research institutions promotes

the consistent quality process at all levels.

WORK BY HAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

On Alto Adige’s often steep slopes, working by hand is still to be

taken for granted. Not only does this taxing care of the vines pro-

mote the quality of the grapes, it also represents a valuable contri-

bution to the protection of the landscape. From time immemorial,

special value has been placed on environmentally friendly methods

of cultivation in Alto Adige/Südtirol. Natural, organic winegrowing

supports nature’s powers of resistance, protects benefi cial insects,

and promotes their spread.

THE RIGHT GRAPE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

In order to fully exploit the quality potential of their soils, Alto

Adige winegrowers carefully decide which varieties should be

planted in which locations. Because only at its “favorite place” can

a certain grape variety reveal its full aroma, its complete power,

and its unique personality.

Vinifi cation

FROM RIPE GRAPE TO FINE WINE

In the winery, it is necessary to safeguard the grape quality after

the harvest. Innovative winemaking techniques along with the

winemaker’s experience and intuition support that grape quality.

The winemaker is a guardian and virtuosic composer.

ALTO ADIGE WINES® HAVE CHARACTER

One of the most noteworthy features of Alto Adige wines that

shows their high quality is their clear expression of fruit, be it

the elder blossom tones of Sauvignon Blanc, the rose scent of

Gewürztraminer, or the wild berry aroma of Lagrein. With the

production of these varietal wines, Alto Adige’s winemakers to-

day consistently rely upon the most modern winery technology.

OUTSTANDING WINES

In addition to their pure fruit and varietal character of these

wines, what also stands out in the wines of Alto Adige is their

concentration and ability to age. A rigorous reduction in yields

has allowed for fi rst-class wines to be produced. Today, top-

quality Alto Adige wines mature for the most part in small casks

made from French oak (barriques). Large wooden barrels are also

once again being used with greater frequency. The fact that Alto

Adige’s producers have been successful in making top-notch

wines that are accepted throughout the world at the interna-

tional level is confi rmed by the many top ratings in the leading

wine guides.

“Alpine freshness accompanied by mineral-rich substance.

In recent years, Alto Adige wines have become even more

refi ned. Either less use or more sensitive use of aging in

wood barrels and selective work in the vineyard and winery

along with the consciousness of the correct location are the

measures that particularly stood out to me.”

Hendrik Thoma, Master Sommelier, Hamburg

62

63

64

“In recent years, the quality level of Alto Adige wines

has risen dramatically across the board and is currently

at a high oenological point, even with the estate

wineries. Within that context, the greatest quality

potential is with the white wines.”

Dr. Jens Priewe, wine journalist and author

65

Organization and Marketing STRENGTH IN UNITY

Alto Adige’s wine industry is characterized by small-scale operations

and versatility. Approximately fi ve thousand individual operations with

around ten thousand employees carry out commercial winegrowing.

With the processing of the grapes and the marketing of the wines,

there are primarily three forms of operation: winery cooperatives,

private wineries, and the Independent Winegrowers. Associations

representing all three branches work closely with each other and have

joined to form the “Consortium of Alto Adige Wine”.

COOPERATIVES

Today, the large majority of Alto Adige’s wines (around 70%) are

produced by the province’s thirteen cooperatives. In contrast to

other regions, cooperatives in Alto Adige are today among the

leaders in quality development. The fi rst winery cooperative in

Alto Adige/Südtirol was founded in 1893.

WINE ESTATES

Quality and strict selection are also the foremost principle of Alto

Adige’s Association of Wine Estates, whose current thirty-eight

members produce around 25 percent of the province’s annual total.

Owners of these wineries are personally involved in both the vine-

yards and the winery in order to produce wines at an ambitious level

of quality. They also press grapes from contract suppliers.

INDIPENDENT WINEGROWERS

The province’s newest wine association is the Alto Adige Association

of Independent Winegrowers. Its eighty-two members have commit-

ted themselves to the “Château principle” and, in so doing, they create

some of the most individual wines fi lled with character, although

unfortunately only in small quantities (around fi ve percent of the total

of Alto Adige wines).

DOC Classifi cation

ORIGIN GUARANTEED

DOC or DOP stands for the controlled designation of origin of

foodstuffs, in particular for quality wines from Italy. Since 1975,

the cultivation, production, and marketing of Alto Adige wines has

been placed under strict legal protection: the Italian DOC or DOP

regulations (controlled or protected name of origin). Alto Adige’s

wines with a typical geographical indication carry the Italian indica-

tion of origin IGT.

GUARANTEED QUALITY

All of the wines from a DOC zone are subject to strict quality

controls. Quality begins in the vineyard, where the maximum

yields have been precisely established for each grape variety. In the

producer regulations, the minimum values are defi ned for alcohol,

acidity, sugar-free extract, and much more. Adherence to these

regulations is regularly inspected through chemical/physical and

sensory analyses.

ALTO ADIGE HAS THE MOST DOC WINES IN ITALY

In Alto Adige/Südtirol, the philosophy of quality was implemented

long ago. Today, more than 98 percent of all of the vineyard area in

the province is under DOC protection. In that regard, Alto Adige

stands alone at the peak of all of Italy.

“Only if Alto Adige is on the inside can Alto Adige be

on the outside.” The Südtirol insignia on the capsule is

the common identifi cation of all Alto Adige DOC wines,

guaranteeing their origin and quality.

Wine Pairings

FROM TAGLIATELLE TO TYROLEAN DUMPLINGS

In Alto Adige, the pleasures of the palate may be neatly divided in

two: Rustic charm of tradition meets Mediterranean lighthearted-

ness. These two sides of Alto Adige cuisine create delicious pairings

with the region’s wines.

TRADITIONAL AND ESTABLISHED

Whether in a classic country inn or down in the depths of a winery,

the rural tradition of hospitality lives on. Classic Alto Adige special-

ties are served, like dumplings with Speck or spinach, homemade

sausage, and steaming hot pork ribs. The lean, refreshing house wine

fl ows, Sylvaner or Müller Thurgau, perhaps Schiava or Pinot Noir.

MEDITERRANEAN AND REFINED

Alto Adige’s star chefs are increasingly presenting Italian-Mediterra-

nean cuisine with Alto Adigean accents. Local products are prepared

in a refi ned manner and combined with the fi nest ingredients. This

leads to dishes such as ravioli with cheese from Alpine pastures and

truffl es, or fi let of beef braised in Lagrein with polenta. These refi ned

surroundings are the best place to enjoy Alto Adige wine. With a

crisp, fresh sparkling wine, a complex, mineral-rich Terlano Cuvée, an

elegant Pinot Noir, or a concentrated, meaty Merlot, every multi-

course gourmet menu has its perfect accompaniment.

“Alto Adige, or Alto, as I call it, is the fi rst wine region I

look for when I open the wine list at any Italian restaurant.

Why? Simply put, I like my Kerner and Müller-Thurgau, my

Schiava and Pinot Nero. The whites from this cool-climate

alpine Northern Italy region are irresistibly aromatic, crisp

and refreshing. The low-tannin reds are elegant and spicy at

the same time. Both have immaculate acidity to boast and

that’s what keeps me hooked.
