Schiava vines, cultivated with the traditional pergola system, grow on gravelly, medium-weight soils. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 350 to 400 meters above sea level with a south exposure.
Sofi Schiava
The Schiava is of a light ruby red color, with an aroma of cherry and red cranberry, slight hints of cocoa and bitter almond. On the palate, it is of attractive simplicity and at the same time complex and vinous, with an inviting conviviality.

Winemaking
After destemming, the grapes are then left to ferment at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks where, after the malolactic fermentation, the young wine is aged for another five months.
Food Pairing
The Schiava is perfect for any occasion. With its low acidity and lightweight tannic structure, it pairs perfectly with most local dishes and Mediterranean cuisines. It is a joyful wine that does not require much contemplation to be enjoyed.
“For me wine means conviviality and pleasure. It makes me incredibly happy to think of opening a bottle of wine made by my father and bearing my name.”
The name and label for these wines were ready quite some time ago. At preschool age our daughter Sofia already expressed the wish to have a wine named after her, provided with a label designed by her.
Everything needs its time! Meanwhile Sofia grew up and together with her we could meet the demands of a young taste.
The Sofi wines consist in Müller Thurgau, Schiava and in a Rosso. The fresh taste of these wines is the expression of typicity and terroir.
