Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

One of the least talked about notable wine regions in Italy is Alto Adige, which lies in a ‘Y’ shaped glacial valley below Austria at the tiptop of Italy. Alto Adige is quite tiny at only 13,000 acres but the region varies enough to have 7 distinct growing sub-regions. Here you’ll find some of the world’s best Pinot Grigio, made in a refreshing and zesty style. Besides white wine, the area also produces two unique age-worthy red wine varieties that are worth mentioning, including Lagrein.
