Kellerei Meran Schiava Meraner Schickenburg Graf 2021 750ml

Indigenous and deeply rooted: the Merano Schiava has been grown around Merano for centuries as the area provides the very best growing conditions for it. Nevertheless, only a few grapes from old, selected vines make it into the zesty “Schickenburg”. Authentic, angular, yet elegant: a real Merano native.

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.
