Vernatsch is South Tyrol in its most honest form. The autochthonous red wine variety – also known as Schiava – has accompanied the South Tyrolean wine route for centuries: light, easy to drink, uncomplicated in the best sense of the word. Not a wine that wants to impress. One that invites. Tiefenbrunner has been cultivating it since 1968 on three different sites between 220 and 650 metres – calcareous dolomite soils in the high altitudes of Penon, Hofstatt and Rain, limestone gravel soils from moraine deposits in Entiklar and on the Margreider Leiten, red sandy loam in Brenntal and Frauenriegel. Each site has its part to play. Vinified in concrete vats and large wooden barrels – the only use of wood in the entire Merus line.

Bright ruby red colour, clear and brilliant. Cherries, violets and bitter almonds on the nose – fine, fresh, typical. Harmonious and mild on the palate, with an elegant, juicy body and a pleasant freshness on the finish. A pleasure even when young – and at its best when slightly chilled. SUPERIORE.DE
