IGT area (Landweine) for white, red and rosé wines in the winegrowing area of South Tyrol in the Italian double region of Trentino-South Tyrol. It covers 42 hectares of vineyards in the province of Bolzano (Bozen). Grape varieties permitted in the region may be used. Varietal wines must contain at least 85% of the variety in question, up to 15% may be other varieties. Dual varietal wines must be blended from 50 to 85% of the main grape variety and 15 to 50% of other grape varieties. For the wines, a minimum alcohol content is prescribed for each wine type, but no ageing periods.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
