Kalterersee Classico Superiore Südtirol Alto Adige Schiava 2020

Brick rim and super pale transparent salmon color. Some pink and purple floral aromatics on the nose, a little funk but not overpowering or off putting whatsoever.
Great acidity, balanced alcohol, very smooth and light tannin that linger to deliver a peppery finish. Overall complex and delicate on the palate with amarena cherry flavor and some artificial pink candy like hubba bubba or cotton candy saltwater taffy. Really desirable minerality similar to the whites I’ve tried from this region. i don’t think you need to chill this before drinking. Would definitely recommend and I’d buy it again for $20 in that 90-92 range for me. Probably at the end of its window if I had to guess, ready to drink now.

Gschleier Südtirol-Alto Adige Vernatsch 2018

Surely young, surely delicious !!
I consider the vernatsch, which we call in Italian Schiava gentile, our petit pinot noir.
This is an established label of an old vines version, a rare example of schiava that does age very well.
This is a wine somehow that if you blind taste it you could mistake for a white, absence of tannin and good freshness. With time it builds up a bit of flesh, but it does remains generally a grape to drink when young. Best examples are in the St. Magdalener denomination.
Still i enjoy this label everytime and also the other schiava Girlan produces.
Cheers🍷

Dolomiti Schiava 2023

Reductive and farmy fresh, likely too much for many. Pinot adjacent but with more herbal undertones. Schiava is typically trained Pergola. Also called Vernatsch and Trollinger. Nice packaging and sub $20 on the shelf. Organic. — 4 months ago
