Just above Lake Garda lies Italy’s northernmost wine region, Trentino-Alto Adige. Close to the border with Austria, the area is warm and humid, although in summer it is prone to thunderstorms and high precipitation levels. However, the dry, gravelly soil and hot climate are ideal for growing grapes like Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay, and white wines from the region are dry, fruity and often have a high level of acidity and balanced, light structure.
