Nals Margreid 2018 Vernatsch 'Galea'

Alto Adige is mostly known for its white wines, but there are also some excellent reds, from both international and local varieties, but as ever, it is the latter that interests us at Noble Grape the most - Vernatsch is one such variety, also known in Italian as Schiava. Nals Margreid makes a few different version from this variety, we are particularly struck by their 'Galea' which is made from very old vines, over 100 years old, from a single, south facing vineyard. The wine is medium bodied, with aromas of black cherries, and subtle spices with the palate being fresh and lovely with a pleasant dark, autumnal bitterness to the fruit
