The view over Chiusa, Valle Isarco

Alto Adige Valle Isarco is the title used for wines made under the Alto Adige DOC from vineyards which line the Isarco Valley cited in the title. Due to the region's proximity to the Austrian border, the 'Valle Isarco' name can be replaced by its German-language equivalents Eisacktal or Eisacktaler on labels.

Unlike its western neighbors Santa Maddalena (aka Sankt Magdalener) and Colli di Bolzano, which specialize in red wines made from the region's favorite red grape Schiava, Isarco produces exclusively white wines.

The wines sold under this title are mostly varietals made from Kerner, Silvaner, Gruner-Veltliner, Muller-Thurgau and Gewurztraminer. Gewurztraminer (known locally as Traminer Aromatico) is particularly at home here, as the village of Tramin after which the grape was named, is situated just a few miles down the valley.

The catchment area for the Alto Adige Valle Isarco title covers a number of villages in the Isarco valley, specifically Barbiano, Bressanone, Castelrotto, Chiusa, Fie', Funes, Laion, Naz-Sciaves, Renon, Velturno, Villandro and Varna. Any Alto Adige Valle Isarco wine made from grapes grown exclusively in Bressanone and/or Varna may bear the additional mention 'Bressanone' or 'Brixner' on its label.
