Santa Maddalena

Alto Adige DOC ²⁰²⁰

About this wine

The Alto Adige Schiava designations of origin referring to specific areas have remained unchanged over centuries. Our Santa Maddalena from the eponymous, very warm area of cultivation near Bolzano is a Schiava with historical ties to its origin resulting in unmistakable terroir characteristics.

Santa Maddalena is the fullest-bodied Schiava wine because of its Lagrein content of up to 15%. The bouquet is reminiscent of forest berries with a hint of gingerbread spices. The pronounced aroma of cherries and typically mild acidity along with powerful fruity sweetness give it a velvety balance. We recommend drinking this wine lightly cooled (13°C/55°F).
