Cantina Andrian
Cantina Andrian (Kellerei Andrian) есе намира в село Андриано, разположено в региона Алто Адидже в Северна Италия. Този регион е известен със своите висококачествени вина, произведени в алпийски тероар. Основана през 1893г, Cantina Andrian е една от най- старите кооперативни винарни в региона. През 2008г се слива с Cantina Terlano, друга престижна кооперативна винарна, но запазва своята идентичност и характер.. Фокусират се върху запазването на традициите и тероарния характер на вината си. Те работят с местни лозари, които прилагат устойчиви практити в лозята. Стремят се към минимална намеса и използване на органични методи за отглеждане на гроздето.

Alto-Adige
Alto Adige (or Sudtirol for the two-thirds of its German-speaking residents) is located in Northern Italy and borders Veneto to the east, Lombardy to the west, and the Tyrol region of Austria to the north. Stretching to 47 degrees north latitude and an altitude of over 3050 meters, Alto Adige is a region of topographical and climatic extremes. The main wine-growing areas in the region follow the valley of the Adige River from Merano in the north to Trentino in the south and are planted both at the bottom of the valley and on its slopes, many of which are incredibly steep. Most wines from this region are produced by cooperatives, which due to the need for efficiency in harvesting, winemaking, and trade have become known for consistent quality and reliable quantity. Nowadays, there is a trend towards an increase in the number of independent producers, who are also gaining a good reputation. The dominant local varieties are the red Schiava and Lagrein, with the most widespread being Schiava (Vernatsch in German), which makes a medium-bodied wine with low levels of alcohol and tannin and is often blended with the denser Lagrein to add more depth and power to the wine. The white varieties used in Alto Adige include both the traditional German Muller-Thurgau, Sylvaner, and Gewurztraminer, as well as the French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, and Pinot Grigio. Recently, the plantings of Pinot Noir have also been increasing.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
