VARIETY: 100 % SCHIAVA
PRODUCTION: Traditional pergola planted on soils on the southeast facing hillside of Breitbach, a fraction of Kurtatsch.
VINEYARDS: This single vineyard is planted with a combination of different Schiava clones; primarily Grauvernatsch, Edelvernatsch but also Klein-Mittervernatsch on Pergola with 2022 vines/ha
SOIL PROPERTIES: Chalk gravel moraine soil
VINIFICATION: The grapes are destemmed and fermented at a constant temperature of 26-28° C for about 10 days in stainless steel tanks. During fermentation in stainless steel tanks the must is kept in contact with the skins through circulation pumping. Alcoholic fermentation is follows by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.
TASTING NOTES: This wine once again proves the great potential of the Schiava variety. Bright ruby-red colour, it shows fine friut aromas as well as vinous flavours. With its light and smooth tannin and a pleasant freshness, this well-balanced wine is uncomplicated and easy-drinking and the perfect combination to traditional Speck (a kind of smoked bacon).
SERVING TEMP.: 14°-16° °C
SHELF LIFE: 2-3 years

Our goulash was never as asked as today. Today where the time is calculated so scarcely, the people buy with pleasure instant products, above all if these underpin the made decision by its quality. We are probably the only manufacturer who completely produce without preservative or colorings.
In 1879 Darbo started to produce syrups fruit. Then as now, only the best fruits are prepared in a natural and gentle way. In this way, the valuable ingredients of the fruit are largely preserved.
