Pick a Burgundy Glass for swirling & releasing the wine aromas. The shape of the glass captures and directs the delicate aromas to your nose and leads the wine to the tip of your tongue for a better reception of the tastes. The Burgundy glass was designed for the delicate and aromatic red wine Bourgogne Rouge, made from Pinot Noir grapes in Bougogne (Burgundy). |
The Alps protect Alto Adige from cold air from the north. From the south, warm, moist air from Lake Garda and the Mediterranean find their way to Alto Adige.
Mild sunny days, warm soils, cool nights, and strong winds bring freshness to Alto Adige wines.
