DOC area for red wine and rosé wine in Trentino, the southern area of the Italian double region Trentino-South Tyrol. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Adige and Noce. The zone includes the municipalities of Mezzocorona and Mezzolombardo, as well as the district of Grumo in the municipality of San Michele all'Adige in the province of Trento (Trento). Described as "the most beautiful in Europe", the vineyards cover 422 hectares of vines and lie on sandy, calcareous soil over layers of gravel. The vines are traditionally trained on pergolas. Rosso or Rubino and Kretzer (Rosato) are made purely from Teroldego. There is also a Superiore and a Superiore Riserva. An IGT wine (local wine) Vigneti delle Dolomiti, vinified from also 100% Teroldego already four weeks after the harvest, is marketed as Novello.
Using the encyclopaedia is not only time-saving, but also extremely convenient. What's more, the information is always up to date.
