Juicy fruit from Alto Adige. From the grape schiava, also called vernatsch, not a red blend. — 5 years ago

Pomegranate, frozen strawberries, cranberry concentrate, rhubarb, white pepper, raspberry tea. Snapping acidity, light medium bodied, juicy texture, minimal crunchy tannin presence, long fruity slightly smoky finish. Aromatic, alpine freshness persists, as evolved as schiava/vernatsch/trollinger gets. — 7 years ago
Drank the 2014 together with lamb patties. Perfect — 7 years ago
Easy to drink. Taste of cherry, clove and almond.
Would recommand it for lasagne and pasta — 3 years ago
A slightly more modern yet highly authentic interpretation of Vernatsch. Cool & fresh with ripe plums, with some plum jam, a bit of damp earth & undergrowth, some graphite.
Nicely drawn, this is featherlight yet focused & precise, with pure, juicy fruit, good acidity and present tannins - quite light yet with grip. The aging in (large wood) fills the mid palate nicely. This is why I love Vernatsch!

Solid example of Schiava (Vernatsch) from a quality cooperative in Alto Adige. Slightly chilled, fresh, red fruits, nice acidic structure yet perky and soft on the palate. — 7 years ago
Light body, fresh,perfumed, strawberry, almond, violets, high acid, sneaky complexity — 8 years ago
Closer to a Valpolicella Classico or Vernatsch than your typical Provence rosé.
Dark(er) in colour and in the nose with sweet strawberry & rhubarb, ripe watermelon and succulent blood-orange, on a bed of rocky, herby minerality. So sappy and succulent, with surprising weight and a touch of tannin but with such a flow - this is a delight.
E&M rocks! (as always) — 4 years ago
Opens with a bit of reduction, Plums & more plums and a bit of cherry with a pinch of cinnamon & cloves and some damp, earthy undergrowth. On the palate this is surprisingly plush (for a Vernatsch) with soft plums and a bit of prune plus a herby, slightly bitter tang. Quite tannic yet juicy & nicely balanced.
A very nice one, in a riper, fuller style (again, for a Vernatsch). — 4 years ago
Light body but with acid, tannin and dark fruit. — 6 years ago
GB really liked it. Looks thin but has a nice body and full taste. — 7 years ago

This is what Vernatsch is all about!
Light (11.5% alc) and crystal clean yet quite expressive with cherries and plumes and cranberries. There’s also a whiff of lemon peel and a stony, herby undertone.
Crisp & light on the palate and very, very juicy with a pinch of herby spice and a mineral backbone. Despite all it’s lightness this has loads of precision, character & personality. Love it!! — 3 years ago
