Summary

From the mountains of Alto Adige and Trentino to the scenic plains and slopes of neighboring Veneto-and Friuli, this guide explores the lively, forward-looking wine estates of Northeast italy. Carefully planned wine routes, marked on detailed vineyard maps, lead the way through each of the region's many wine areas.
