The Trentino-South Tyrol/Alto Adige area is an autonomous region located in north-east Italy producing wine in the two autonomous provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol. This Italian wine region is noted for the distinct German and Austrian influences on the wine industry due to the region's long history under the rule of Austria-Hungary and Holy Roman Empires.〔M. Ewing-Mulligan & E. McCarthy ''Italian Wines for Dummies'' pg 109-118 Hungry Minds 2001 ISBN 0-7645-5355-0〕 Because of its unique history and location within the southern Alps and Dolomites, in this region grows a wide range of grape varieties that are not usually seen in other parts of Italy. These include Müller-Thurgau, Schiava, Lagrein, Sylvaner, Riesling (known locally as ''Riesling Renano''), Gewürztraminer (known locally as ''Traminer Aromatico'')〔P. Saunders ''Wine Label Language'' pp. 120–212 Firefly Books 2004 ISBN 1-55297-720-X〕 and Blatterle.〔J. Robinson, J. Harding and J. Vouillamoz ''Wine Grapes - A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours'' pg 112 Allen Lane 2012 ISBN 978-1-846-14446-2〕 ==Winemaking in the Province of South Tyrol== The name South Tyrol, in Italian Alto Adige, identifies the northern territory of the region that includes the higher (alto) part of the Adige River. Winemaking in South Tyrol has a long tradition: the first evidences date back to the period before the Romans. The South Tyrolean wine-growing area is highly influenced by the Mediterranean climate, which in the Adige valley (Bassa Atesina, Oltradige, Bolzano, Terlano, Burgraviato) arrives up to Merano. This allows a very versatile winemaking, which includes almost all the red grape varieties and a lot of white grape wines. The Val Venosta and the Valle Isarco have a harsher climate and thus they’re specialized in white wines. In South Tyrol there are three indigenous varieties: Schiava, Gewürztraminer and Lagrein. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Tyrol wine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
