Descrizione

The Vernatsch Schiava Alto Adige DOC Fass Nr.9 - Girlan elegantly expresses the typicality of the Schiava grape variety, cultivated on the sunny slopes of Alto Adige. This light and fresh red captures the essence of the territory, characterized by an alpine climate and porphyry-rich soils that confer finesse and delicacy. The Fass Nr.9 is aged in large wooden barrels that enhance the floral and fruity aromas, with hints of cherry, raspberry, and light spicy notes. On the palate, it is harmonious, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that ensures freshness and drinkability.

Perfect as a companion to simple dishes such as cold cuts, fresh cheeses, and light first courses, this Vernatsch reflects the balance and lightness that make Alto Adige's winemaking tradition unique. A wine to discover for those who love elegance without excess and the authenticity of the territory.

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.
