For centuries, Vernatsch (Schiava) was the most important local red wine variety. Today, reduced cultivation areas and the south-east and south-west facing vineyards along the South Tyrolean Wine Road guarantee the best qualities. Our Vernatsch Fallwind is a fresh, fruity wine with fine bitter almond aromas. Simply a classic.
