Trentino is located in the north east of Italy in between the regions of Veneto and Lombardy and bordering Austria. The region of Trentino is characterised by the vast differences in climate, ranging from Mediterranean to continental to Alpine. Its situation between the Padana plain and the Alps gives it a unique micro-climate, with a deeply variable range of temperatures. Trentino is remarkably well preserved from an environmental point of view, with wonderful natural resources such as woods and rivers as well as old towns, rich in history and art.

The vineyards of Trentino really are totally unique, completely reflecting the dramatic natural backdrop where they are cultivated. The resulting wines express the terroir of the vineyards, be they on the valley floor, or 800 metres above sea level. The wide range in temperature between day and night is particularly beneficial for white wines, making them some of the most pure and fresh wines in the whole of Italy.

To the west of Trentino, this region is influenced by the warm winds coming off Lake Garda, and by the particularly long hours of sunlight. The soil is tremendously varied with some fertile red soil (perfect for Chardonnay) and some deep, chalky soil (ideal for Pinot Noir). There are also "Dolomitic" soils, which are sandy and full of stones, which are best suited to Chardonnay and the indigenous varietals Nosiola and Teroldego. Vineyards are situated at between 250 and 550 metres above sea level.

North of Trento, the Valle di Cembra's dramatic landscape is characterised by terraced vineyards. The microclimate here is notable for the variation in temperature. The soil is light and rich in minerals, which is reflected in the elegance and mineral characters of the wines. The vineyards reach as high as 800 metres above sea level. The lower parts of the valley are given over to the production of Chardonnay as the base wine for sparkling wines, Pinot Noir is grown in the mid-zones and the terraces are devoted to Müller Thurgau.
