Blend di Other Grapes, Alsace

Alsace is a wine-growing region located in the north-eastern part of France, between the Vosges mountains and the border with Germany, marked by the Rhine river. The presence of the Vosges mountain range contributes decisively to defining the climatic characteristics, protecting the area from the winds coming from the west and reducing the rainy phenomena. Alsace differs from the other areas of France for a ubiquitous German culture that comes to dictate the architectural styles and even influence the production of wine itself. It is therefore not surprising that mostly white wines are produced with grape varieties such as Riesling or Gewürztraminer in the center.

Here, the Pinot Grigio, which in other French regions is relegated to blending varieties, takes on a noble and important connotation. There is also a share of sweet wines that differ in sugar residue and of which the highest quality is emphasized through the mentions Vendanges Tardives and Selection de Grains Nobles.
