Slave Vineyards of the Dolomites IGT

Schiava Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Carlotto

Schiava Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT by Carlotto is an Alto Adige red wine with an immediate and pleasant profile, designed for those seeking drinkability, freshness, and aromatic finesse. Born from a historic and noble grape variety of South Tyrol, it authentically interprets a light, fragrant, and low-alcohol style, ideal for naturally accompanying meals.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the vineyards of Ora, in the Raut and Tschint areas, on alluvial soils of the Rio Nero, rich in skeleton and loose matrix, with porphyritic and limestone components of Mesozoic origin. We are at about 200 meters above sea level, in a context that favors balanced ripening and maintains the freshness of the fruit intact. The Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT designation enhances a territorial wine, essential in style and faithful to the tradition of Schiava, a variety that here expresses an agile and convivial character.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a light and bright ruby red color, consistent with its delicate nature. On the nose, finely fruity sensations emerge, with hints of small red fruits and a pleasant expressive simplicity. On the palate, it is fresh, smooth, and low in alcohol, with a light structure, moderate tannins, and a clean finish. The winemaking process with maceration of about ten days and aging in steel helps to preserve immediacy, fragrance, and drinkability.
