Viniculture in this area of south Tyrol known as Alto Adige to the Italians who have held it since 1918, dates back to pre-Roman times. South Tyrol's unique wine tradition stems from a successful fight against geography to achieve superb quality. Hillsides so steep, grapes must be brought down by cable, where roots must fight for nutrients from swiftly draining slopes, induces the vines into producing fewer but finer grapes. Nowadays connoisseurs worldwide are increasingly hailing south Tyrol's white wines as one of the discoveries of the Century.
