Termeno sulla strada del vino/Tramin an der Weinstraße

Flanked by the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Mendola Ridge and nourished by the Adige river, Termeno sulla strada del vino/Tramin an der Weinstraße benefits from a unique Alpine-Mediterranean climate. Here, 18 protected denominations overlap, spotlighting the area's viticultural prowess. Chief among these is the Lago di Caldaro DOC, a highly localized appellation shared with just seventeen neighboring municipalities, which coexists with the broader Alto Adige DOC on these sunny terraced slopes. The valley's dry winds and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts also perfect the curing of Speck Alto Adige IGP, crafting flavors unique to this bilingual alpine enclave.
