Ala

Where the alpine Valle dei Ronchi descends into the open Vallagarina, the palindromic town of Ala commands a dramatic topographical junction that shapes its viticulture. This narrow gateway channels mountain winds that protect the vines, allowing 1 certified local producer to craft expressive wines within the Vallagarina IGT, an appellation spanning a zone of 21 municipalities. In total, this geographic nexus claims 24 protected denominations. Here, the cool mountain drafts preserve the crisp acidity crucial for both local Vallagarina IGT varietals and refined Trento DOC sparkling wines, translating a rugged limestone terrain directly into the glass.
