Trentino-Alto Adige Wines
Trentino-Alto Adige is Italy's northernmost wine region, located at the Austrian border. The Trentino-Alto Adige wines reflect the region’s cultural complexity and heritage. While Germanic varieties such as Müller-Thurgau and Sylvaner reign supreme, the local Schiava grape follows up close. There are also increasing quantities of local Italian wines made with international varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc and the red Bordeaux grapes.
Viognier Wines
Viognier is a highly aromatic white wine variety cultivated in wine regions around France, USA, Australia, Italy, South Africa, Chile, Argentina and others. Viognier wines generally showcase herbal notes with chamomile, lavender, thyme and sometimes hints of pine. In aged or sweeter wine styles Viognier will redeem some rich honeyed flavours. Genetically speaking DNA shows that Viognier is somehow the grandparent of Syrah while other studies show links between this grape variety and Nebbiolo.
