The Trentino and Alto Adige region is home to a variety of premium whites from local and international varieties and fresh, light reds.

This region's vineyards extend over the plains and hills surrounding the Isarco Valley and the Adige River whose valley is [Italy's](/country/italy) corridor to [Germany](/country/germany). Alto Adige is considered more [Germanic](/country/germany) than it is [Italian](/country/italy) and although the Trentino in the south tends to reflect [Italian](/country/italy) culture, it too remains more cosmopolitan, as exemplified in the international grape varietals so popular in this region.
