**Alto Adige (Südtirol)** ... — a small alpine region in Italy's far north, in the German-speaking province of South Tyrol, where valley vineyards climb steep mountain slopes. **Wines & grapes** — Best known for precise, aromatic whites such as Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay, plus reds from the local Schiava (Vernatsch) and Lagrein. **Character** — High altitude, big day-to-night temperature swings and abundant sunshine give whites with crystalline purity, bright acidity and clear varietal aromas. Lagrein makes a dark, structured red, while Schiava is light and easy. **Good to know** — The region's dual Italian-German identity is reflected in its bilingual wine names, and it is regarded as one of Italy's top sources of crisp mountain whites.
