Each month we highlight a new wine region or topic and curate four white and four red wines that best represent it. These wines are featured in our Wine Station dispensers for tastings and are available for purchase by the bottle.

When it comes to the geography of wine, the typical approach is to break the world of wine down into countries. Alpina Vina pays less attention to countries and more to common features of terroir such as topography and climate. This take on the Alpine wine regions brings a really refreshing perspective. In this challenging era of climate change there is increasing interest in high-altitude vineyards and those in the foothills of the Alps certainly fall into this category.
What’s more, the Alpine wine regions tend to be less familiar wine-producing areas and home to many indigenous grape varieties rarely found elsewhere. Production is often limited which leads to small amounts of exports and patchy availability at best. Alpina Vina makes these stunningly beautiful regions and their remarkable wines and producers much more accessible.
Join us for our monthly tasting on Wednesday, May 20th at 6:30 pm.

This Gavi is produced from a Cortese vineyard well known in the XVIII century. Unoaked and bright, bottled just a few months after harvest. Delicate and fresh, with fragrant notes of yellow apples, chamomile, lemon zest, and white flowers. It has a vibrant acidity that provides a long, clean, and elegant finish. Excellent paired with seafood, shellfish, starters, and light pasta dishes.
Kerner is this neat little varietal that’s actually a hybrid of Riesling and Schiava .This wine is a lovely and aromatic white wine that boasts notes of red apple and peach on the nose with a succulent juiciness on the palate.
Müller Thurgau is a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royal. A distinctively fruity/spicy aroma of white peaches, mountain herbs and nutmeg. The peppermint-fresh acidity is harmoniously interwoven with the fruity body. This elegant, fruity mountain wine is perfect with flavorful first courses or as an aperitif.
100% Pinot Grigio. A distinct copper color with a nose that has notes of tropical fruit, such as pineapple and is heightened by subtle floral notes of spring wildflowers. Elegant and silky smooth on the palate.
Fresh and fragrant with notes of violet, raspberry, cranberry, and light pepper. Palate: Light-bodied, crisp, and fruity with soft tannin structure and a gentle mineral core with a subtle hint of bitter almond on the finish. Ideal as an appetizer or paired with charcuterie, light meat-based appetizers, fresh cheeses, and grilled fish.
100% Teroldego. The 2023 vintage is characterized as a "woodsy" and energetic, featuring aromas of crushed wild berries, violet, geranium, and wet stone. Palate: Juicy and fresh with tart red berry fruits, notes of blue plum, and a slight tannin structure. A savory and long with a floral lift. Pair with roasted poultry, game dishes, and pasta with hearty sauces.
Vinified in the rolling hillsides that ultimately escalate into the Dolomites. This is fermented in stainless steel tanks prior to aging in large, neutral oak vats. Cherry cola, freshly cracked black peppercorn, cranberry, cherry blossom and wildflower aromas. Soft silky tannins lead to a satisfying finish with staying power.
