Alto Adige Schiava DOC is a red wine made from Schiava Grossa and Schiava Gentile grapes (85-100%), with the permitted addition of local red grapes (0-15%).
The wine is also known as Südtiroler/Südtirol Vernatsch DOC, Südtirol/Südtiroler Grossvernatsch DOC or Südtirol/Südtiroler Edelvernatsch DOC.
Regardless of the name, this is a light to medium ruby red wine, with an inviting, fruity and characteristic scent. The taste is inviting, soft and dry, with notes of almond in the aftertaste.
If the label mentions “Vigna” (Gewächs or Wachstum), followed by the name of a place, it refers to a specific vineyard area or a “micro zone”.
The wine pairs well with antipasti, clear soups, sausages (salsicce) with sauerkraut and semi-hard cheeses.
