Shaped by altitude, cooling Alpine air and a long tradition of thoughtful co-operative and family winemaking, the north-east excels at producing wines of clarity, balance and enjoyment.
This area is not the largest by size, but it exports more wine then the rest of Italy put together! The north-east has a history of exporting large volumes of hugely popular styles of wines – Valpolicella, pinot grigio, Prosecco or Soave. By contrast Trentino and Alto Adige are much more niche regions with more French and Germanic varieties crossing the border into the picturesque slopes.
