ELENA WALCH ALTO ADIGE SCHIAVA 2023

Elena Walch represents Alto Adige's winemaking elite, where the Dolomite foothills create a unique terroir of limestone soils and dramatic temperature swings that perfectly suit the indigenous Schiava grape. This sustainable family estate, now in its fifth generation, harnesses the region's exceptional microclimate where Alpine influences meet Mediterranean warmth. Their Schiava displays bright ruby hues with enticing cherry aromatics leading to an elegant palate of red berries and subtle spice, balanced by gentle acidity and soft tannins that conclude with distinctive bitter almond notes reminiscent of marzipan. This harmonious expression showcases the varietal's natural finesse and the terroir's ability to produce wines of remarkable character and drinkability.
