The Winegrowing Bolzano I Region of Alto Adige Alto Adige/Südtirol

BETWEEN MOUNTAINS AND CYPRESSES Italy Alto Adige/Südtirol lies right in the middle: between Austria and Switzer- land on Italian soil. Between Alpine peaks and a Mediterranean landscape. Between the German and Italian linguistic worlds. Between cosmopolitan curiosity and deeply rooted tradition. The allure of Alto Adige lies in its variety and the harmony of opposites.

COMPARISON OF “THREE GLASS” WINES SMALL AREA – LARGE VARIETY PER 1,000 HECTARES (2,470 ACRES) OF VINEYARD AREA Alto Adige is one of Italy’s smallest winegrowing regions. Yet thanks to its geographical position, it is also one of the most multifaceted. Wine cultivation stretches from the terraced slopes at the foot of

Around five thousand winegrowers tend just 5,400 hectares (13,300 acres) of vineyard area in different climatic zones with variable types of soils and at elevations ranging from 200 to 1,000 m (600 to 3,300 ft) above sea level – a wide variety that brings forth a considerable dense concentration of top wines. This is confirmed by a quick look at the leading Italian wine guide: for years now, Gambero Rosso has awarded Alto Adige the largest number of top 1,69 1,61 1,61 scores (“Three Glasses”) in proportion to its total vineyard area. 1,40 1,41 1,37 1,27 1,22 1,32

GREAT UPSWING FOURTY YEARS AGO 1910: At around 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres), Starting around 1980, Alto Adige winegrowing began to experience winegrowing in Alto Adige/Südtirol reaches a sustained upswing.

In Montagna the Pfitscher wine The Washington Times, Contributor, Wine Review Online estate, with the motto “Keep the tradition, try the new”, moved into the middle of the vineyards. In so doing, great attention was paid to the employing of energy-efficient construction methods. For having done this, the winery was awarded the “ClimaHouse Wine” seal.

ESTATE WINERIES WITH CREATIVE IDEAS Alto Adige‘s estate wineries distinguish themselves through their individuality – including in their architecture. In Caldaro, for example, the winery spaces of the Manincor Winery were built beneath the vineyard. Only the tasting room and the sales pavilion are set up above ground – this is where the enjoyment of wine and the art of architecture combine with an unsurpassed view of Lake Caldaro.

COOPERATIVES WITH A BOLD PRESENCE Alto Adige’s cooperatives are also increasingly expressing their extraordinary concepts through extraordinary architecture. In Termeno, for example, the Tramin Winery building evokes the framework of branches of leafless grapevines in winter. The unique green steel construction symbolically includes the form of the surrounding vineyard landscape. The Caldaro Winery has erected a striking sales building in the village center. The Caldaro Winecenter, with its glass and bronze-colored façade, is captivating through its minimalist architectural elegance. 16 17

These are the ideal conditions for high-quality grapes with a broad spectrum of aromas.

TO EACH VINEYARD ITS OWN MICROCLIMATE The topography of Alto Adige’s winegrowing area is like a complex mosaic.

Geology and Soils

A COLORFUL MOSAIC OF SOILS THE SOIL DETERMINES THE GRAPE VARIETY The geological composition of Alto Adige’s winegrowing area often Thanks to consistent research into the various types of soils, changes at minimal distances, from one vineyard to another. The soils Alto Adige’s winegrowers today know precisely which varieties on which the grapes for Alto Adige wines grow range from volcanic will best flourish on which subsoils. For instance, the indigenous porphyry to weathered primitive rock soils composed of quartz and Lagrein prefers warm soils composed of gravel and sand, mica to limestone and dolomite to sandy marl. while Gewürztraminer, reaches its full potential in loamy soils that are rich in lime. A part of the Alto Adige vineyard area is located on rock debris and scree cones. These are deep soils that are distant from groundwater.

In this system, a single vine produces far fewer grapes, but they are much more concentrated. In addition, increased collaboration between the winegrowers with consulting and research institutions promotes the consistent quality process at all levels.

WORK BY HAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION On Alto Adige’s often steep slopes, working by hand is still to be taken for granted. Not only does this taxing care of the vines pro- mote the quality of the grapes, it also represents a valuable contri- bution to the protection of the landscape. From time immemorial, special value has been placed on environmentally friendly methods of cultivation in Alto Adige/Südtirol. Natural, organic winegrowing supports nature’s powers of resistance, protects beneficial insects, and promotes their spread.

THE RIGHT GRAPE IN THE RIGHT PLACE In order to fully exploit the quality potential of their soils, Alto Adige winegrowers carefully decide which varieties should be planted in which locations. Because only at its “favorite place” can a certain grape variety reveal its full aroma, its complete power, and its unique personality. 54 55 56 57

With the production of these varietal wines, Alto Adige’s winemakers to- day consistently rely upon the most modern winery technology.

OUTSTANDING WINES In addition to their pure fruit and varietal character of these wines, what also stands out in the wines of Alto Adige/Südtirol is their concentration and ability to age. A rigorous reduction in yields has allowed for first-class wines to be produced. Today, top-quality Alto Adige wines mature for the most part in small casks made from French oak (barriques). Large wooden barrels are also once again being used with greater frequency. The fact that Alto Adige’s producers have been successful in making top-notch wines that are accepted throughout the world at the international level is confirmed by the many top ratings in the leading wine guides. 58 59 60 61

MARKETS: WHERE ALTO ADIGE WINE IS SOLD

Total exports as a percentage

STRENGTH IN UNITY Alto Adige’s wine industry is characterized by small-scale operations and versatility. Approximately five thousand individual operations with around ten thousand employees carry out commercial winegrowing. With the processing of the grapes and the marketing of the wines, there are primarily three forms of operation: winery 2015 cooperatives, private wineries, and the Independent Winegrowers. Associations representing all three branches work closely with each other and have joined to form the “Consortium Alto Adige Wines”.

COOPERATIVES Today, the large majority of Alto Adige’s wines (around 70%) are produced by the province’s twelve cooperatives. In contrast to other regions, cooperatives in Alto Adige are today among the leaders in quality development. The first winery cooperative in Alto Adige/Südtirol was founded in 1893.

WINE ESTATES Quality and strict selection are also the foremost principle of Alto Adige’s Association of Wine Estates, whose current sixty-five members produce around 25 percent of the province’s annual total. Owners of these wineries are personally involved in both the vineyards and the winery in order to produce wines at an ambitious 40% 38% 10% 4% 3% 5% level of quality. They also press grapes from contract suppliers.

INDIPENDENT WINEGROWERS Alto Adige Rest of Italy Germany USA The province’s newest wine association is the Alto Adige Association Switzerland and Austria Other of Independent Winegrowers. Its ninety-eight members have committed themselves to the “Château principle” and, in so doing, they create some of the most individual wines filled with character, although unfortunately only in small quantities (around five percent of the total of Alto Adige wines). 62 63

Protected geographical indications

ORIGIN GUARANTEED PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and DOC (controlled “Only if Alto Adige is on the inside can Alto Adige be name of origin) stands for the controlled designation of origin on the outside.” The Südtirol insignia on the capsule is of foodstuffs, in particular for quality wines from Italy. Since 1971, the common identification of all Alto Adige DOC wines, the cultivation, production, and marketing of wines with the guaranteeing their origin and quality. denomination "Alto Adige" and "Lago di Caldaro" has been placed under strict legal protection. Also the areas of Santa Maddalena, Merano, Isarco Valley, Terlano and Val Venosta were defined. Today, EU wine regulations use the denomination protected designation of origin (PDO) while in Italy DOC is much more common. Alto Adige’s wines with a typical geographical indication carry the Italian indication of origin IGT.

GUARANTEED QUALITY All of the wines from a DOC zone are subject to strict quality controls. Quality begins in the vineyard, where the maximum yields have been precisely established for each grape variety. In the producer regulations, the minimum values are defined for alcohol, acidity, sugar-free extract, and much more. Adherence to these regulations is regularly inspected through chemical/ physical and sensory analyses.

ALTO ADIGE HAS THE MOST DOC WINES IN ITALY In Alto Adige/Südtirol, the philosophy of quality was implemented long ago. Today, more than 98 percent of all of the vineyard area in the province is under DOC protection. In that regard, Alto Adige stands alone at the peak of all of Italy. 64 65
