Wine producer – Italian cooperative Erste and NEU Keller, whose vineyards are located in the province of Trentino-Alto Adige. This is the northernmost wine region in Italy. Due to its complex geopolitical history, it consists of two autonomous provinces: Trentino and Alto Adige. Trentino is almost entirely composed of native Italians, while Alto Adige has a predominantly German-speaking and Russian-speaking population. This is due to the same status in the region as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, from which he left in 1919.
