If there is one wine that truly tells the story of Trentino’s identity, it is Teroldego Rotaliano. Intense, elegant and deeply connected to its land, this red wine originates in the Piana Rotaliana, a small flat area north of Trento, surrounded by mountains and shaped by the course of the Noce River.
Here, Teroldego finds its ideal habitat. Mineral-rich alluvial soils, a breezy climate and the temperature difference between day and night help create a wine that wins over both the heart and the palate of anyone who tastes it.
Some of the most interesting wineries where you can taste it are located less than twenty minutes from Trento. It’s the perfect excursion for anyone who wants to discover the territory in an authentic way, among vineyards, family stories and glasses full of character.
Here are some stops worth visiting during your stay at Be Place.
In the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, Mezzolombardo is one of the symbolic centers of Teroldego. Here you will find Cantina Rotaliana, a historic cooperative winery that brings together dozens of local winegrowers.
Visiting the winery means getting in touch with an agricultural tradition deeply rooted in the territory. Vineyards stretch all around the village and tell the story of patient work shaped by seasons, harvests and knowledge passed down through generations.
During a tasting, you can discover different interpretations of Teroldego, from young and fresh versions to more structured wines, including special selections that express the richness of the Rotaliana soils.
The beauty of the experience lies in its authenticity: here wine is not only produced, it is part of everyday life.
Just a few minutes from Mezzolombardo lies San Michele all’Adige, another important reference point for winemaking in Trentino. This is where Cantina Endrizzi is located, one of the historic wineries of the area.
Founded in the nineteenth century, the winery owns vineyards that extend to the foothills of the surrounding mountains, creating a landscape that is already an experience in itself.
Inside the cellar, visitors can discover the winemaking process and taste several labels guided by the people who actually produce the wine.
If you are looking for a more intimate and artisanal experience, this winery in Mezzocorona is not to be missed.
De Vescovi Ulzbach is a family-run winery that works with great attention to quality and to its connection with the territory. Here Teroldego is interpreted in an elegant and contemporary style, while remaining faithful to its origins.
During visits you will hear about vineyards, soils and harvests — the kind of experience that helps you understand how much work and passion lie behind every bottle.
On the hills surrounding Trento, in the village of Pressano, lies Maso Poli, a winery and farm that represents one of the most interesting realities of the Trentino wine landscape.
The farmhouse, whose origins date back to the 18th century, has been restored and transformed into a modern winery while maintaining the charm of Alpine tradition. Surrounded by vineyards and overlooking the Piana Rotaliana, this place combines history, landscape and a deep passion for wine. In addition to wine production, Maso Poli also offers cellar tours and guided tastings, allowing visitors to discover the work that takes place both in the vineyard and in the cellar, as well as the winemaking traditions of the region.
Visiting Maso Poli means immersing yourself in a unique landscape where wine culture intertwines with history and the beauty of the Trentino mountains. The Piana Rotaliana is one of the most fascinating wine regions in Trentino. Surrounded by imposing mountains and crossed by rivers and canals, it is the perfect destination for those who love vineyard landscapes, small villages and historic wineries. Visiting these wineries means stepping into a story made of territory, culture and tradition — and the best part is that all of this is located just a few kilometers from Trento.
Sometimes it really takes very little to turn a day into a memorable experience.
