"Fresh and fragrant with notes of violets, fresh raspberries, redcurrants and rosemary. Gentle stemmy undertones. It,s medium-bodied, fine and crisp, with sleek tannins. Drink now."

"Schiava is a light-bodied red from northern Italy,s Alto-Adige region that deserves a spot on the holiday table. It,s extremely food-friendly with bright acidity and notes of red fruit, baking spices, and almonds. This wine could even do with a slight chill and still be delicious and expressive. It,s a great red to start off dinner with."

"The 2022 Schiava wafts up with a peppery blend of wild berries and roses lifted by a fresh mint. This is juicy and fresh with crisp wild berry fruits and sweet citrus that swirl throughout. It's mineral and leaves the mouth watering for more throughout the long and remarkably fresh finale."
