This native grape variety played a central role in Alto Adige viticulture until the 1970s and contributed to Alto Adige’s renown as a red wine region. As the grapes prefer the shade, we continue to train the Schiava vines along a pergola trellis system. The wines are characterised by freshness, light and rounded tannins and a moderate alcohol content.
