Alto Adige:

One of the most fascinating of Italy’s wine regions this is also one of the most beautiful, comprising the northern half of a long, narrow valley stretching up from Verona. Most of the Alto Adige winemakers are Germanic, and there are strong political ties to Austria. Although most of the wine produced here is red, using Lagrein, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, the whites of Alto Adige get the most attention.
