The Vernatsch Alto Adige DOC from K. Martini & Sohn is a true expression of the South Tyrolean wine tradition. This red wine has a distinctive character, derived from Vernatsch grapes, also known as Schiava, grown in the Alpine valleys of Alto Adige, a region renowned for the exceptional quality of its wines.

With a moderate alcohol content, the Vernatsch by K. Martini & Sohn features a bright ruby red color that is slightly translucent, typical of the variety. On the nose, it releases delicate aromas of red fruits such as strawberries and cherries, complemented by floral nuances and a light touch of almond, making the aromatic bouquet particularly charming and inviting.

On the palate, the wine is distinguished by its lightness and softness, with fine, well-integrated tannins that contribute to a balanced and harmonious sip. The acidity is fresh and well-balanced, leading to a pleasing sensation of liveliness that lingers in a clean and pleasantly fruity finish.

Recommended food pairings for this Vernatsch include dishes from the South Tyrolean cuisine such as speck and canederli, but it also pairs wonderfully with light starters, white meats, and mildly aged cheeses.

This wine from K. Martini & Sohn represents an excellent choice for those who wish to discover the typicity and elegance of the light red wines of Alto Adige. Ideal to be served slightly chilled, it offers a refined and distinctly regional drinking experience.
