one main distinction between trentino and south tyrol wine production is the fact that in the northern area (south tyrol) the wines are produced mostly by small family-owned and managed wineries that sell their high quality wine mainly locally with limited exports to germany and austria. trentino on the other hand counts on a large number of growers who joined into large cooperatives, such as cavit and mezzacorona, which produce wines that have consistent taste and characteristics year after year. these wines are popular, both in italy and abroad, among wine drinkers who look for reasonably good and affordable wines for daily enjoyment.
