"Back in the Middle Ages Schiava wine from South Tyrol was a much appreciated
drink in the courts and monasteries of the South German area. Today this elegant
low-tannin wine, with its moderate alcohol content, is still a popular choice and
combines particularly well with the typical dishes of South Tyrol."
