The microbial terroir of Vino Santo, a typical sweet wine Trentinian production

Vino Santo is one of the most evident examples of strict connection between geography and product. The grapes (Nosiola) culturing, their drying and fermentation are carried out in the Valle dei Laghi, a geographically delimited area in Trentino (Italy). The particular geographical conformation of this productive area and the utilization of procedures handled down among generations of wine-makers guarantee the maintenance of the local typicity of the wine.
