Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

Italian Wine Region of Alto Adige in The Dolomite Mountain Range

David Kohl presents a unique wine produced from the grape known as “Kerner” that thrives in the harsh climate of Italy’s IGT Alto Adige region located within The Dolomite Mountain Range,nearby to the borders pf Austria & Switzerland. You can see the Tyrol influences reflected in the bottle design which resembles that of a classic German Riesling. Adventurous consumers may wish to seek out a Kerner varietal in their local Italian Wine retail section, with its mountain minerality, in place of a simple Pinot Grigio. While Kerner is not widely carried in The USA today, note that the Kerner grape is starting to be planted in California. #kernergrape #italianwine #whitewine #dolomites #winevideo
