A new website has recently been created that celebrates the “mountain wines” of transalpine Europe. The site showcases nine regions across three countries — France, Switzerland, and Italy — united by a common climate, geology, and indigenous grape varieties. This is clearly a labor of love by co-creators Jean-François Genoud and Simon Hardy. It presents a wealth of information for wine nerds to explore. For consumers it offers answers to that most fundamental of questions, “if I like this wine, then what else should I try?”
An overview of the project was recently featured on Jancis Robinson’s website.
The full site, Alpina Vina, can be found here.
