The winners of Autochtona Award 2021

14 awards have been assigned by the Autochtona Awards 2021, the prize that enhances the wines produced from native Italian grape varieties. A large tasting desk welcomed wine professionals and wine lovers in the halls of Fiera Bolzano during the 18th edition of Autochtona.
There was great expectation to know the winners of the Autochtona Awards, the prizes reserved to wines made from indigenous grape varieties announced yesterday during the largest Italian forum dedicated to indigenous grape varieties grown from north to south of our boot, held in the halls of Fiera Bolzano.
Autochtona was held as usual within Hotel, the international fair for hotels and restaurants, and was characterized by a large tasting desk, managed by the AIS sommeliers of the Alto Adige section, which welcomed professionals and wine lovers. It was a unique opportunity to taste just under 500 wines from all over Italy, made with grape varieties that are now well known and widespread in many regions, as well as with varieties that risked extinction and that have found a home in specific areas.
