Valdadige DOC
[vahl-DAH-dee-jay]
This DOC, which covers vineyards scattered throughout northeastern Italy's TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE region and into the VENETO region, is considered the lowest-quality DOC in the Adige Valley. Valdadige (Etschtaler in German) has four VARIETAL WINES—CHARDONNAY, Pinot Bianco (PINOT BLANC), Pinot Grigio (PINOT GRIS), and SCHIAVA—and three basic wines—BIANCO, ROSSO, and ROSATO. The Bianco, Rosso, and Rosato wines, which can be DRY or AMABILE, have many approved varieties from which they can be made.
