SCHIAVA D.O.C.
Back in the Middle Ages Schiava wine was a much appreciated drink in the courts and monasteries of the South German area. Today this elegantlow-tannin wine, with its moderate alcohol content, is still a popular choice and combines particularly well with the typical dishes of South Tyrol.
This varietal grows on the special vineyards on the valley floor of the southern Lowlands of Alto Adige. The good sunlit and airy location of the viticulture makes the best conditions available for offering high quality grapes.
