Schiava

Bright ruby in colour with a delicate hint of cherry on the nose. On the palate, it is harmonious and elegant due to naturally mild acidity and tannin with a pleasant bitter almond flavour on the finish. An elegant, fruity red wine with good lengths.

TERROIR

Warmer sites on calcareous soils with clay and sand on both sides of the mountain ridge, south-east and south-west facing. Elena Walch’s broad portfolio of terroirs span the best aspects of Alto Adige winegrowing. The vineyards are blessed with a combination of Mediterranean warmth and cool winds from the surrounding Dolomites, creating unique and desirable tension in the wines. Hand-picked and selected with the utmost care.

VINIFICATION

Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with 6 days of skin contact, followed by the maturation in traditional large oak casks.

FOOD RECOMMANDATION

An interesting wine for Mediterranean dishes and Pasta dishes, as well as antipasti.

WINE CRITIC

In Italy’s Alto Adige, Schiava is the wine of summer. Elena Walch produces a delightful style that captures the variety’s familiar cranberry tartness and strawberry juiciness but with a mild acidity and tannin that doesn’t fall flat on the finish.
