Schiava is a red wine that has its roots in the fascinating lands of Trentino-Alto Adige, a region renowned for its extraordinary scenic beauty and its centuries-old winemaking tradition. This wine represents the gentle and versatile soul of the Dolomites, capable of enchanting both long-time enthusiasts and newcomers to the world of wine.

The origins of Schiava date back to ancient times, when the grape of the same name, also known as Vernatsch in German, was skillfully cultivated by local winemakers. This grape variety is characterized by medium-sized clusters and a thin skin, which helps create light and fresh wines, perfect for any occasion. Schiava is mainly cultivated in the hilly areas and sunny slopes of Trentino-Alto Adige, where the mild climate and temperature variations favor optimal ripening of the grapes.

The winemaking process of Schiava is an art passed down from generation to generation. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a delicate vinification process, aimed at preserving the elegance and fragrance of the wine. Often, Schiava is aged in stainless steel to enhance its fresh and fruity aromas, or sometimes in wood to add greater complexity to the aromatic bouquet.

The organoleptic profile of Schiava is characterized by a light body and a delicate structure, making it a perfect choice for those seeking an easy-drinking wine that is also rich in nuances. On the nose, Schiava surprises with aromas of small red fruits like cherries and wild strawberries, while on the palate it offers notes of almond and a lively acidity that enhances its freshness. Its soft tannins and slight minerality make it an extremely pleasant wine to sip, ideal for accompanying light dishes based on white meats, appetizers, or fresh cheeses.

With its lightness and discreet charm, Schiava is much more than just a wine: it is an invitation to discover the beauty and tradition of Trentino-Alto Adige, a region where viticulture is an art and a passion.
