Valdadige DOC

[vahl-DAH-dee-jay] This doc, which covers vineyards scattered throughout northeastern Italy's trentino-alto adige region and into the veneto region, is considered the lowest-quality DOC in the Adige valley. Valdadige (Etschtaler in German) has four varietal wines-chardonnay, Pinot Bianco (pinot blanc), Pinot Grigio (pinot gris), and schiava-and three basic wines-bianco, rosso and rosato. The Bianco, Rosso, and Rosato wines, which can be dry or amabile have many approved varieties from which they can be made.
