Alto Adige: small region, but with great wines. The
Alto Adige is a small mountainous region of Italy fully 15% of the territory are Alps and the land is unproductive, 70% is occupied by forests, and only the remaining 15% is arable, with results of excellent quality. Small region, but with great wines. Only 5,366 hectares, mainly in medium and high hill ..
The terrain of the region, rich in limestone gives wines with low tannin content, while the temperature of the region gives wines with aromatic profile, elegance and intensity out of the ordinary.
The common varieties are the S sizzled with their synonyms and varieties, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Neror the Langrein, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and Kerner.
Langrein is certainly one of the oldest vineyards in the Alto Adige, but the bibliography of this vineyard is quite lacunosa, and is the first mention ano1400.
The red wines made from grapes Schiava are generally not particularly well known beyond regional boundaries, which can hardly be said of Gewürztraminer, a native Termenès.
Tramin the Termenès can easily be identified to the homeland from such grapes as valuable, and you can it will be found with several synonyms, such as Traminer Rose, Tramin aromatic and in Alsace and Giuria, savagnin . The Traminer is an aromatic grape variety that is highly resistant to the cold of winter, full of intense and elegant aromas that are fully transmitted to the wine.
Literally the name means Gewurztraminer Traminer speziato (spicy), then, means something more than aromatic, the name emphasizes the olfactory quality with great exuberance, which is even more pronounced when the wine comes from the late harvest.
Because of the great flavors of its wines, the Alto Adige è compared to Alsace, with which ha several vineyards in common, such as Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Muscat, Pinot Noir. Importantly, the production in Alsace is almost exclusively white wines, while in the Alto Adige, 54% of wine produced is red. Currently
viticulture intensive deals almost exclusively the hills of Valle DELL'ADIGE Salorno between Merano and the Valle dell'Isarco between Bolzano and Bressanone, and part of val Venosta .
The area of \u200b\u200bcultivation of classical langrein coincides with the city of Bolzano, in particular, Gries, cities with warm soil and permeable, suitable for viticulture and ensuring production of quality wines.
I love the wines of Alto Adige, in particular those of Terlano.
Cuisine
The region is famous for cattle, with greater production of meat and milk, and fruits such as apples.
also has a lot of potato production, always present in local cuisine.
Without speaking, the famous Speck, made from the thigh of the pig, which is boned and dry with salt, garlic, juniper, bay leaves, pepper, herbs and smoke, using wood and fresh sweet juniper bushes.
