Trentino wines directly from the winemaker

The wine region of Trentino, located in the north of Italy, is a treasure trove for wine lovers who value authenticity, character, and craftsmanship. Here, mountains, lakes, and Mediterranean influences come together in a landscape that produces unique wines. Trentino is not only known for its fresh white and elegant sparkling wines, but also for its local red grape varieties: Rebo and Teroldego.

What makes Trentino wine unique?

Trentino lies between the Alps and Lake Garda. In the north, the Dolomites dominate; in the south, Lake Garda provides a milder climate. This mix of cool nights and sunny days creates ideal conditions for viticulture. The soils are rich in limestone and minerals, and the vineyards are often located on steep slopes where the grapes ripen slowly, concentrating their aromas.

Winemakers in Trentino combine old knowledge with modern techniques. They respect the terroir and increasingly work organically or biodynamically. The result? A recognizable local signature in every glass.

The Teroldego grape: the heart of Trentino

The Teroldego is the historic grape of Trentino and is often called the “king of Trentino.” This native variety is mainly grown in the Campo Rotaliano, a fertile plain in the northern part of the region. Here, between the mountains, Teroldego ripens slowly into powerful, aromatic wines.

A Teroldego wine is recognized by its deep color, lively fruit notes (cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry), and subtle spice. The taste is full and rounded, with a fresh acidity that keeps the wine vibrant. Thanks to this balance of power and elegance, Teroldego is incredibly versatile – it pairs beautifully with red meat, stews, game, and mature cheeses.

The most renowned quality designation is the Teroldego Rotaliano DOC, but the grape is also found in blends and as an IGT wine. Anyone wanting to taste Trentino in its purest form should choose a Teroldego from a local producer.

The Rebo grape: innovation with local roots

The Rebo grape is a modern pride of Trentino. It was created in 1948 when wine researcher Rebo Rigotti crossed Merlot and Teroldego – two grapes that thrive in this mountainous climate. The goal was simple: to combine the strength and structure of Teroldego with the smooth fruitiness of Merlot.

And that’s exactly what Rebo offers today. Wines made from Rebo have a deep ruby-red color, notes of dark fruit such as cherries, blackberries, and plums, and a touch of spice. On the palate they are full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a soft, rounded finish. Rebo wines also have excellent aging potential.

Winemaker Cantina Pisoni: tradition, nature, and character

One of the most authentic producers in Trentino is Cantina Pisoni. This family winery, located in the Valle dei Laghi between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, has been producing wine since 1852. Today, brothers Marco and Stefano Pisoni run the estate, which is managed entirely organically and biodynamically.

The Pisoni vineyards lie on the slopes around the village of San Siro, at about 450 meters above sea level. The soils are rich in limestone and sand, and the fresh wind from Lake Garda – known as the “Ora del Garda” – keeps the grapes healthy and ensures slow, even ripening.

Pisoni’s wines perfectly reflect what makes Trentino special: purity, respect for nature, and a deep connection to the land. Through ONWINE you can order their wines directly from the producer.
