Schiava Vernatsch Südtirol DOC - Peter Zemmer

The elegant Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige from the pen of Peter Zemmer glides into the glass with a bright ruby red color. The nose of this red wine from Trentino-Alto Adige captivates with notes of lilac, blackcurrant, lily and blueberry. If we continue to explore the aromas, we find coarsely ground hazelnut, whole nut chocolate and roasted almond.

This dry red wine from Peter Zemmer is ideal for wine lovers who would prefer to have 0.0 grams of sugar in their wine. The Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige comes very close to this, as it was produced with just 3.6 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly light texture. Thanks to its present fruit acidity, Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of mulberry and perfume rose.

Vinification of Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige by Peter Zemmer

The balanced Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Vernatsch grape variety. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.

Recommendation for the Schiava Vernatsch Alto Adige by Peter Zemmer
