Wine making kits - Trentino-Alto Adige

Wine making kits from Hambleton Bard - most are made using Italian high quality grape concentrates. Our supplies of grapes come from the northern regions where the cooler climate produces high quality winemaking grapes of all the international types like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling etc as well as Italian specialities like Nebbiolo (used for the famous Barolo wines) and Sangiovese.

With its warm summer days, cool nights, and well-drained, stony soil, Trentino-Alto Adige enjoys conditions similar to those that combine to make the Burgundy region of France a source of so many world class wines.

Nearly 75% of Trentino-Alto Adige's wine production carries the quality DOC stamp, an achievement unmatched by any wine region in the country. Over 35% of its wines are exported abroad, another national record.

Viticulture in the Alto Adige has ancient roots and is beleived to have preceded the Roman Empire. The vineyards extend over the plains and hills surrounding the Isarco Valley and the Adige River whose valley is Italy's corridor to Germany.

The most famous varietals are Gewurztraminer, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Muller Thurgau, Riesling and Moscato Giallo. Trentino is also responsible for Italy's largest production of Chardonnay and is a leader in sparkling wines.

The climate varies greatly from freezing near the Dolomites to mild towards the northern most part of lake Garda. Winters are cold and snowy and spring frosts are a risk for vineyards, yet temperature fluctuations in this northern region are credited with heightening the flavor and aroma in wines.
