South Tyrol | White Wine
South Tyrolean white wine, with its refined alpine character is extremely popular. Yet South Tyrolean whites have a little bit of everything: Pleasant acidity, minerality, structure and alcohol. The wines - whose quality has steadily increased in recent years - come across as self-confident as the country's population.
South Tyrolean white wine not only enjoys constantly high demand from abroad, but is also in great demand from Italy. Since the south of Italy naturally has an extensive and excellent red wine production, the white wines from the northernmost region of the boot country in particular are extremely in demand domestically.
Among the most famous white wine varieties grown in South Tyrol are Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Goldmuskateller, Chardonnay, Silvaner, Riesling, Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio. - Gerardo [TS07/22]
"The region has a number of aces up its sleeve in the wine poker game: Although with 5,300 hectares of vineyards it occupies not even one percent of Italy's grape-growing land, the diversity of its wines is immense. This is due to the wide variety of soils, altitudes ranging from 200 to 1,000 meters, and the diverse surface characteristics of the land, including its unique climatic conditions." - Slow Wine
