"In the past, Santa Maddalena – a traditional cuvée blended from the two
indigenous grape varieties Schiava and Lagrein – played an important role in wine
making in South Tyrol and was one of the best known Italian reds. Today this fine
fruity and typical elegant red wine, which takes its name from the wine growing
village of Santa Maddalena, still has many adherents and is in the process of being
rediscovered by many a wine connoisseur."

elderberry and cherry underpinned by bitter almond and a nuance of violet.
• Taste: With full fruit flavors on the palate, too, and yet soft and elegant at the same time, this
red wine benefits from a balanced acidity and low tannin content – a unique feature of the
schiava grape – to achieve a very agreeable finish.
