This
northernmost region, bordering Austria, is divided
into the mainly German-speaking Alto Adige (South
Tyrol) in the north to the Italian-speaking Trentino
in the south. The northern portion produces some
of Italy's best white wines including Pinot Grigio,
Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Rieling and M?Thurgau
with some reds, notably, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
and the local Schiavo and Lagrein. In Trentino
to the south, wines include some excellent Chardonnay
and the interesting red variety, Teroldego.
