Alto Adige is a great place for wine. You can taste it. You can buy it. It’s a wine region that’s relatively under the radar in today’s wine world. But visit the area, more commonly known among locals as Sudtirol, and you’ll find a wine culture that’s existed for over a thousand years.

In a world where wine has been increasingly globalized, corporatized, homogenized and price-inflated, winemakers in Alto Adige sell quality ‘juice’ at a fraction of the price charged in pinot producing regions in France and the USA.
