The Best Schiavas from Italy
Schiava - aka Vernatsch – might be the grape you never heard of but you are missing out. If you like translucent, light-bodied reds, Schiava is the wine for you. The grape variety is predominantly cultivated in Alto Adige, Italy’s northernmost tip. The steep slopes of Alpine foothills create a dramatic backdrop for this delightful red grape variety. This delicate wine is light in colour and comes with moderate alcohol levels, often under 12,5 ABV. An enticing scent of dried rose petals, notes of strawberry shortcake and sweet cherry leave anyone craving another sip. Here is Falstaff’s selection of the best.
