Alto-Adige v Collio wine dinner
Alto-Adige v Collio wine dinner
As we head towards Spring, we dive in to the world the Alto Adige and Collio. These areas of North-East Italy, both nestling in the foothills of the Alps, are famed for their white wines. While Alto Adigo produces rich, perfumed, floral whites, the expression of the same grapes in the Collio region of Fruili-Venezia Giulia is leaner, more chiseled and precise.
These regions both have rich histories: Alto Adige as part of the Austrian South Tyrol region, is very much a cultural and viticultural melting pot, where German is more widely spoken than Italian, and dumplings are more common than pizza. Collio on the other hand, is sheltered by the Julian Alps and shares its eastern border and heritage with Slovenia.
This wine dinner will explore and compare a wide range of white wines and a few red wines from the region, with some hearty local specialities to match.
