Trentino is renowned for its mountains, such as the Dolomites, which are part of the Alps.<\/p>\n
The region is not so industrialized, and agriculture remains important. The most important produce comprises apples (50% of national production, together with South Tyrol) and other fruits, vegetables and grape.<\/p>\n
At the opposite of South Tyrol, Trentino counts on a large number of growers who joined into large wine cooperatives.<\/p>\n
In addition to a few native grapes only, Trentino is producing well known international grape varieties.<\/p>\n

“Fabulous carmenere with black licorice, blackberry and tar character. It\u2019s full-bodied with round tannins and bright acidity. Soft, yet lively. Hints of black pepper and spices. So long and flavorful. Superb wine.” – James Suckling, 97 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Carmenere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
