Some vineyards have names that you never forget. The Hexenbichl – or Hexenbühel, as the older people around Tramin call it – lies on the southern slopes of the village, between 300 and 450 metres, on calcareous clay and gravel. Vernatsch has thrived here for generations; the vines for this wine are between 60 and 100 years old. They have not been replaced because they knew that no young vine could match the vigour of these roots. Fermented in steel tanks, matured in large oak barrels – without pressure, without haste. Vernatsch, also known as Schiava in South Tyrol, needs this. It is not a grape variety for feats of strength, but for precision and patience.

Brilliant ruby red in the glass. Cherry, strawberry, hibiscus and a hint of bitter almond on the nose – typical of the variety and unmistakable. Soft and juicy on the palate, with a fine structure and a finish that lingers for a moment. Served slightly chilled, it is the ideal accompaniment to Marende: Bacon, smoked sausage, mild cheese. Or simply because the day deserves it. SUPERIORE.DE
