Item # 41792 750mL

Santa Maddalena Classico is its own DOC in the heart of Bolzano. By law the wine must be 90% Schiava (aka Trollinger) and 10% Lagrein. This combination works to add a touch of richness and body to the normally bright and aromatic schiava. The vineyard is a large slope scaling from 250 meters to 500 meters, with the Lagrein grown on the lower portion of the hill. These are old vines averaging between 40-50 years old.

Staff Pick Notes

Grown in the Heart of the Santa Maddalena DOC in the region of Bolzano, the grapes for this wine grow at an average elevation of 250-500 meters above sea level. Grown on the gravelly soils of Santa Maddalena above Bolzano, these soils aid in both water drainage and to ripen grapes with the radiated heat from the day's sun. A blend of 90 percent Schiava and 10 percent Lagrein, this wine is fresh and light on its feet. The Lagrein adds a touch of color and structure to this medium-minus-bodied wine. Fresh, red fruit of strawberries, raspberries, and red cherry mingle with aromatic roses and violets. A smoky, ash note adds a savory complexity while the wine finishes with a pleasant marzipan note. A natural pairing with a plate of thinly shaved speck and Fontina cheese.

Crossing the historic boundary between Italy and Austria, Trentino-Alto-Adige is in fact comprised of two autonomous regions (Trentino and Alto-Adige).

Alto-Adige, the northernmost half of the region, retains great pride in its Germanic heritage, evidenced by the dual language bottle labels appearing in the region.

Alto Adige

Comprising the northern half of the oft-conjoined Trentino/Alto-Adige region of Northern Italy, Alto-Adige is in fact its own entity with its own distinct style of winemaking. Situated on the historic boundary between Italy and Austria, the two autonomous regions were returned to Italy after World War I (hence why they are often lumped together). Alto-Adige retains great pride in its Germanic heritage, evidenced by the dual language bottle labels appearing in the region. Alto-Adige is most...
