Trentino-Alto Adige, nestled in northern Italy at the foothills of the Dolomites, is a region where Alpine freshness meets Mediterranean warmth. These are Alpine Wines in their purest form. Historically, this area has been shaped by both Italian and Austrian influences, reflected not only in its culture and architecture but also in its winemaking traditions. Once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the region's rich heritage is deeply ingrained into its vineyards, creating wines that are both distinctive and unique..
One of the most iconic producers from this region is Elisabetta Foradori, renowned for her commitment to reviving the native Teroldego grape. Through biodynamic farming and minimal intervention, Foradori crafts deeply expressive Teroldego wines that embody the essence of Trentino's terroir—vibrant, structured, and full of life. Another standout from Foradori is Manzoni Bianco, a rare cross between Riesling and Pinot Bianco. This wine is known for its remarkable texture and complexity, offering layers of stone fruit, herbs, and a distinct minerality.
The region's culinary heritage beautifully complements its wines. Hearty Alpine dishes like canederli (bread dumplings), speck (cured ham), and polenta pair wonderfully with robust reds like Teroldego and Lagrein. Meanwhile, delicate white wines such as Manzoni Bianco and aromatic Gewürztraminer are perfect alongside fresh mountain cheeses and seafood from the nearby lakes.
Trentino-Alto Adige's diverse landscape is home to a wide range of grape varieties, from crisp Pinot Grigio to the native Schiava and the bold Lagrein. The region's commitment to sustainable and organic practices ensures wines that are pure, balanced, and truly reflective of their origin.
