DOC of Alto Adige (Kalterersee, 1970) around Lake Caldaro between Bolzano and Termeno, vineyards at 220–500 m, climate tempered by the lake and the Ora wind. Schiava (Vernatsch) is the signature red (≥85%): pale ruby, light with marasca cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, iris and almond notes, melted tannins and fresh acidity — an accessible, thirst-quenching wine. Selected Auslese versions are fuller and more structured. Best drunk young for the freshness of the fruit.
Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
