90/100 JS

Pale ruby red in color.

On the nose reveals aromas of cherry, raspberry, and wild forest berries, accented by delicate herbal and subtle spice notes.

On the palate, it is harmonious and silky, with soft tannins, refreshing acidity, and a light, elegant structure. The finish is smooth and refined, with a subtle mineral touch.

Serving: Best served at 55°F–60°F (13°C to 15°C). Decanting is not required; serve fresh right after opening.

Food Pairing: Due to its light body, soft tannins, and refreshing acidity, the producer and local region recommend pairing this wine with:

South Tyrolean Classics: cured meats, Speck, and mild local cheeses like Fontina or young Asiago), and roasted pork or ham.

Light Meats & Poultry: Roast chicken, turkey, game birds, or seared duck breast.

Casual Italian: Brick-oven pizza, lighter pasta dishes with tomato or ragù, and mushroom risotto.

Kurtatsch Schiava Grigia Alto Adige is a delicate, elegant red from Kellerei Kurtatsch (Cantina Cortaccia), a cooperative founded in 1900 in the southern part of Alto Adige. It is made from 100% Schiava Grigia (Vernatsch), considered one of the finest and most aromatic clones of the Schiava family. The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates from south- and southeast-facing slopes at 300 to 450 meters, on gravelly limestone-clay soils mixed with dolomite. They are destemmed, macerated cool for about 8 to 10 days, fermented in stainless steel and aged six months on the fine lees in concrete tanks and large neutral oak casks. In the glass it is pale ruby, with aromas of cherry, raspberry and wild forest berries, and delicate herbal and spice notes. The palate is silky and harmonious, with soft tannins, refreshing acidity and a light structure, and a smooth finish with a subtle mineral touch.

Why buy it: This is a light, food-friendly red at just 12% ABV, from one of South Tyrol’s historic cooperatives. It is meant to be enjoyed young, which makes it an easy bottle to open without any planning or decanting. We deliver across Florida, with free shipping on 6+ bottles.

When to open it: Open it for a casual dinner, pizza night, an aperitif or a lighter meal when you want a red with freshness rather than weight. Serve it slightly chilled at 54°F to 57°F (12°C to 14°C), with no decanting needed. It pairs well with speck and cured meats, mild cheeses like Fontina. Also good with roast pork or chicken, brick-oven pizza, or meaty fish like salmon, trout or seared tuna.
