Class car hire holidays and tours in Veneto and Trentino

Wine making has taken place in Trentino for over 3000 years.

It was introduced by the Greek tribe 'Illiri' who disembarked in Liguria and walked all the way inland.

They were followed in Roman times by the 'Retici' and subsequently the monks who introduced the first wine making rules and import regulations.

The DOC labels to look out for are the 'Caldero or Lago di Caldero', 'Casteller', 'Teroldego Rotaliano' and the dominant 'Trentino'.

In Alto Adige they are the 'Colli di Bolzano', Meranese di Collina', 'Santa Maddelena', 'Terlano', 'Valle Isarco', 'Val Venosta' and 'Valdadige'.
