Schiava
A native red grape variety from northern Italy, particularly well-known in Trentino and Alto Adige, Schiava produces light, fruity wines with aromas of cherry, strawberry, and violet, combined with soft tannins and a subtle freshness. The result is an elegant, supple wine that is often served slightly chilled.
