This area borders the provinces of Verona and Trento in the Valley of Adige, and counts 1,300 hectares of specialised vineyards, 20 wineries and 1,000 wine-growers, the majority of which are faithful to tradition, conveying sensations and emotions of bygone days to the present. This pearl set between Veneto and Trentino extends along the banks of the Adige river, a valley shaped by quaternary glaciers and carved by the river that flows to the south from the Ceraino narrowing and opens up to the north between Mount Baldo and the Lessinia mountains, reaching the province of Trento.
It encompasses the municipalities of Rivoli Veronese, Brentino Belluno, Dolcè and Avio, connected by the Adige river, and the rows of vineyards. Early evidence of winegrowing in this area date to the first century A.D., when Pliny the Elder, visiting the Verona area, described the surroundings as «... labruscae: hoc est vitis silvestris quod vocatur
oenanthium...», making reference to Enantio, one of the local red wines made with native grapes.
White wines belonging to this D.O.C. are: Terradeiforti Valdadige Chardonnay, Terradeiforti Valdadige Pinot grigio and Terradeiforti Valdadige passito from the Chardonnay grape. The D.O.C. red wines are: Terradeiforti Valdadige
Casetta, Terradeiforti Valdadige Casetta riserva, Terradeiforti Valdadige Enantio, Terradeiforti Valdadige Enantio riserva and Terradeiforti Valdadige Enantio passito.
