Alto Adige Schiava DOC

2023 - Rotfüssler

  • Tasting notes

    Once the Vernatsch grapes become fully ripe in these sun-drenched sites the grape stalks become reddish in colour and local growers call them “Roatfiassler” (“red-legged”) in the local dialect. Hence the name. Bright ruby in colour, intensely fruity on the nose, reminiscent of cherry and summer berry fruits; mellow on the palate with supple tannins, mild but refreshing acidity and attractive bitterness on the finish.

    Cellaring potential: 2 years.

  • Food Combination

    An ideal partner for full-flavoured starters, meaty fish and pasta dishes, pork and poultry, cold cuts of meat – especially speck -, salami and mild cheeses.

    Serve cool: 14° C.
