Alto Adige/ Südtiroler Meranese di Collina DOC is a red wine made from the Schiava Grossa ans Schiava Gentille grape varieties (85-100%), with the permitted addition of local red grapes (0-15%).
This is a light to medium ruby red wine with a light, characteristic scent. The taste is dry, harmonious and balanced.
If the label mentions “Vigna” (Gewächs oe Wachstum), followed by the name of a place, such as Kuchelberg, Gneid, Rosengarten, Liebenberg or Labers, it refers to a specific vineyard area or a “micro zone”. If the wine is produced in the vineyards around Castel Tirolo, the label will mention "del Burgraviato" (or Burggräfler).
Alto Adige Meranese di Collina DOC can be enjoyed with local sausages, clear soups (gerstensuppe) or soft cheeses.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
