It is allowed to ad local white grapes (0-5%).
This wine has a straw yellow color and a pleasant, fruity, sometimes aromatic scent. The taste is dry, full-bodied and aromatic.

There is also an aged version of the wine, Alto Adige Riserva DOC, and a dessert version, Alto Adige Bianco Passito DOC. This type is also known as Alto Adice Weiss DOC or Südtirol/Südtiroler Bianco/Weiss DOC.

Did you know?
Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
