Schiava 2022

In the picturesque terrain of Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy's northernmost wine region, a burgeoning natural wine movement is taking root amidst the stunning Alpine landscapes. Here, winemakers embrace the region's diverse terroirs, ranging from the sun-drenched valleys of Trentino to the cooler mountain slopes of Alto Adige, to craft wines of exceptional purity and expression. Indigenous grape varieties like Lagrein, Teroldego, and Schiava thrive in this unique microclimate, yielding wines that reflect the pristine Alpine environment and the winemakers' commitment to sustainability. With a focus on organic and biodynamic farming practices, as well as minimal intervention in the cellar, Trentino-Alto Adige's natural wines often exhibit vibrant acidity, lively fruit flavors, and a distinct sense of place. This growing movement showcases the region's rich winemaking heritage while embracing a forward-thinking approach that resonates with modern wine enthusiasts seeking authentic and soulful expressions of terroir.
