Trentino Chardonnay

This wine is for sale on Stelo italian wine 

The quality and diversity of Trentino’s wines are largely due to the geography of this northern Italian wine region between Lake Garda and the slopes of the Dolomites and its consequent temperature fluctuations which are credited with heightening the flavours and aromas in the wines. Despite a belief that Trentino only produces white wines due to its partly Alpine climate, this is not the case with white wines representing 60% of total production and red and rosé 40%.
Trentino is a small region with 9,591 hectares of vineyards under vine – although this is increasing – accounting for 1.7% of total Italian wine production. The widespread presence of part-time growers means there are more than 6,500 small estates, with over half having less than one hectare under vine. 83% of all wine made in Trentino is therefore produced by cooperatives. Vines are mainly trained with the traditional ‘pergola trentina’ system using the single and double variation, but vertical systems have been introduced recently and are rapidly spreading.
