Trentino DOC
[trehn-TEE-noh]

A large DOC that covers the Trentino province—the southern portion of Italy’s TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE region. Most of the vineyards are scattered around the Adige River Valley that meanders from north to south. The northern third of this area is much like its northern neighbor ALTO ADIGE, both in the Austrian culture and in the wine. From the city of Trento south, the region becomes much more Italian. The Trentino DOC authorizes a number of VARIETAL WINES—Cabernet (from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), CABERNET SAUVIGNON, CABERNET FRANC, CHARDONNAY, LAGREIN, Marzemino, MERLOT, MUSCAT (both Moscato Giallo and Moscato Rosa), MÜLLER THURGAU, Noisiola, Pinot Bianco (PINOT BLANC), Pinot Grigio (PINOT GRIS), Pinot Nero (PINOT NOIR), Rebo, Riesling Italico (WELSCHRIESLING), Riesling Renano (RIESLING), Sauvignon (SAUVINGON BLANC), and Traminer Aromatico (GEWÜRZTRAMINER). There’s also BIANCO (made from a blend of white grapes), ROSSO (made from a red-grape mixture), and VIN SANTO (made from Noisiola grapes). The Trentino province also has several individual DOCs including CASTELLER, LAGO DI CALDARO, TEROLDEGO ROTALIANO, and VALDADIGE. Sorni is a subzone of the Terntino DOC.
