DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Elena Walch is a five-generation family estate in Alto Adige, in the far northeast of Italy, with 90 hectares of vines, including the Castel Ringberg and Kastelaz vineyards. This is their Schiava, the traditional local red grape.
The grapes come from calcareous soils at medium altitude, where warm days meet cool mountain nights. Fermentation is in temperature-controlled steel with six days on the skins, then the wine matures in large traditional oak casks. 2024 was a smaller harvest of very good quality. The wine is bright ruby with soft cherry aromas. The palate is light and elegant, with mild acidity, fine tannins and a gentle bitter almond note at the end. A light red with real length. 12.5% alcohol.
Serve it lightly chilled, around 55F, in a medium red wine glass. Try it with antipasti, speck and cheese, pasta dishes, roast chicken or grilled fish.
Bottle size: 750ml
