Welcome back to part two with Beatrice Bessi, our dedicated head sommelier. Beatrice's passion for wine shines through in every word, making her journey a delight to follow. In this episode, we delve into her experience with the Court of Master Sommelier exams, her recent Australian adventures, and her fascination with old vines. But our main focus is on the two Italian wine regions: Alto Adige and Trentino.
Picture snow-capped peaks and charming landscapes—Alto Adige sits at the crossroads of Austria and Switzerland, boasting a predominantly German-speaking population. Yet, its wines speak volumes in Italian tradition. We'll explore indigenous grape varieties like Schiava and Lagrein, and did you know? A whopping 98% of Alto Adige's wines reach at least the DOC level, a testament to its quality.
Just south lies Trentino, home to renowned sparkling wine producer Ferrari. While Trentino may be smaller, it holds its own charm, and Beatrice's fondness for the region shines bright. Join us as Beatrice shares her insights and passion, painting a vivid picture of these remarkable Italian wine destinations.
