Castelfeder Alte Reben Schiava 2022, Südtirol, Alto Adige, Italy

Vernatsch (Schiava) is probably the most famous
autochthonous grape variety in South Tyrol. The typical fruity
and aromatic red wine is made of grapes with unusual large-
sized berries.

As the name suggests, the grapes come from older vines that
are partially over 80 years old.

The label shows a combination of its place of origin and a bottle.
The vineyards for this Vernatsch are located in special sites of
Breitbach, a smaller part of the village Cortaccia. There can be
found impressive large cypresses in the middle of the vineyard.
As aperitif or pairing to bacon, cold cuts, starters, pasta dishes,
roasted meat. Bright garnet red colour, fruity notes of red
berries, delicate structure fresh, aromatic finish.
