Schiava
The schiava is the red berried grape symbol of the South Tyrolean winemaking tradition. Before the recent Bianchista revolution in the Region, the schiava was the most cultivated grape variety in South Tyrol, to produce quantity wines with a rather poor quality. Today it is grown mainly in the area of Santa Maddalena and Caldaro. Thanks to the low yields and careful attention to winemaking, the schiava has established itself as a very interesting and modern red. Its fruity profile, its medium-bodied structure and ease of drinking make it a very pleasant wine and particularly adaptable in combinations at the table.
