Description

The Vernatsch Schiava IGT 448 s.l.m. from Cantina Girlan comes from the high altitudes of the South Tyrolean hills, precisely at 448 meters above sea level, where the cool climate and temperature variation promote a slow and harmonious ripening of the grapes. The Schiava grape variety, indigenous to the area, expresses its utmost elegance here, showing a delicate aromatic profile of fresh red fruits such as cherries and wild strawberries, enriched by subtle floral and spicy hints.

The aging takes place in steel, preserving the freshness and liveliness typical of this light and pleasant-to-drink wine. On the palate, the Vernatsch is characterized by a soft and enveloping texture, with smooth tannins and a slightly savory finish that enhances its organoleptic balance. It pairs perfectly with dishes based on white meats, fresh cheeses, and light Mediterranean cuisine, enhancing each pairing without overpowering it.

Winery history

Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.

Production philosophy

The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.

Awards and recognitions

The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
