Muller Le Baccanti

DESCRIPTION 
The Muller Thurgau grape variety, which was selected by Swiss researcher Dr. Hermann Müller in 1882, is a white vine resulting from a cross between Riesling and Madeleine Royale.

Good adaptability to the cold climate of mountainous regions and early ripening are some of the peculiarities of this quality vine variety.

These characteristics allowed it to spread in the Trentino area, where it has found ideal conditions on the hills, between 500-700 meters above sea level.

In particular, the small and steep vineyards of Val di Cembra - on the hills around Trento - and in the picturesque Valley of the Lakes.
