Eater Dedicated: Explore the Incredible Wines of Italy’s Alto Adige Region

What does it take to produce the perfect bottle of wine? We’ll let you in on the secret — it’s all about location. That’s why wines from Alto Adige, also known as Südtirol, are some of the most outstanding in the world.

In Alto Adige, located in Italy’s northeast corner and wedged between Austria and Switzerland, a blend of brisk Alpine air, Mediterranean sun, and high-altitude vineyards help produce impeccable wines of authentic varietal character. The region is home to more than 20 grape varieties like Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, Schiava, Lagrein, and Pinot Nero — all hallmarks of quality and elegance.

Thanks to its location, Alto Adige is one of the most multi-faceted wine-producing regions, renowned for well-structured, food-friendly wines. Comprising less than one percent of Italy’s total wine production, Alto Adige is one of the country’s smallest winegrowing regions, yet it leads the country in wines meriting a DOC designation.
