Varietal

Schiava

Schiava, also known as Vernatsch, is a red grape varietal primarily grown in the Alto Adige region of Italy and parts of Germany. Schiava wines are light-bodied with low tannins and high acidity, making them easy to drink and approachable. The wines typically feature bright red fruit flavors such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, with floral and sometimes spicy notes. Schiava thrives in cooler climates and is often used to produce varietal wines as well as blends. Its light, fruity character pairs well with a variety of dishes, including charcuterie, poultry, and vegetable-based meals. Schiava’s refreshing profile makes it an excellent choice for casual sipping and summertime enjoyment.
