Varietal

Kerner

Kerner is a fascinating wine varietal with a captivating story and distinctive characteristics. This white grape variety originated in Germany in the mid-20th century, a crossing of Trollinger and Riesling. What sets Kerner apart is its ability to thrive in cooler climates, producing wines with a delightful balance of acidity and fruitiness. Its aromatic profile often features notes of citrus, apricot, and floral undertones, making it a refreshing and versatile choice. One of the most unique aspects of Kerner is its adaptability to various winemaking styles, from dry to sweet, still to sparkling. This versatility allows winemakers to craft a wide range of expressions, each showcasing the grape's inherent qualities while reflecting the terroir of its growing region. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, Kerner offers wine enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known varietal and discover its hidden charms.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Trentino/Alto Adige

As the name suggests, the northern Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is made up of two separate areas, with Trento in the south, and the Adige river in the north. There are few parts of Italy quite as alluring for wine fans as Trentino-Alto Adige, as this is an area in which Italian wines become really quite unique and surprising. As the region is nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is quite a long way from the sun drenched islands of the south, or the rolling hillsides of central Italy. Indeed, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are packed full of fresh, vibrant alpine flavors and aromas, and are as influenced by the Germanic styles of wine making as they are influenced by those of the Italians, making the wines of this region really quite unusual, and utterly captivating. Wineries in Trentino-Alto Adige use both native and imported grape varietals for their wines, and they are generally considered to be amongst the finest in Italy.
