Alpine red made from the #schiava (say it with me: shkee-ah-vuh) grape.
Peppercorns, plum pith, tart berries, with mouthwatering acidity and some fierce tannin for such an elegant red.

The wine has a dark ruby hue, with almost no light admitted through it in the glass. Aromas are subtle and indicative of a cool vintage in a cool-climate region - raspberries and minerals with dark savory notes of black olives and roasted nuts. More fruit comes through on the palate, with strawberries lending some ripeness to the tart raspberry flavor. The level of acidity is a marvel and the ripest fruit is saved for the finish.

Nice medium-to-lite summer red. Good with lite pasta on a hot day.
