Today, the responsibility for the family business is in the hands of Elena’s daughters, Julia and Karoline. With 90 hectares of vines, including the two most representative, VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro und VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin, Elena Walch is one of the most important producers in Alto Adige.
From one of the world's leading women winemakers, this cheerful yet sophisticated summer red is from a Mediterranean climate with warm summer days combined with cool mountain nights. And it's delicious chilled!
The 2022 Schiava has a bright ruby color, with a subtle cherry aroma. It tastes balanced and refined, thanks to its natural mild acidity and tannin. It leaves a pleasing bitter almond flavor at the end. Overall, it’s a tasteful, fruity red wine with a decent finish.
