This is a textbook example of one of Italy’s lesser known varieties, Schiava (ski-av-ah). This wine is like discovering a new indie band that your friends don’t know about – one you almost don’t want to share because it’s so good and once they taste it, the secret will be out. It has notes of cherry, violet, a hint of almond and crushed herbs. The palate has edgy acidity, fine tannins and juicy raspberry on the finish. Enjoy slightly chilled.
