Aroma: cherry, violet, nutmeg, cinnamon

Palate: full-bodied, well-balanced, elegant

Ruby Schiava-led Riserva-style Santa Maddalena: cherry, violet, nutmeg and cinnamon aromatics; full-bodied and well-balanced with prominent tannins, fine dark chocolate and ripe red fruit alongside elegance and softness.

What it pairs with

  • Aperitif
    Producer suggests lightly chilled aperitif duty; the wine's elegance opens a meal.
  • Speck and mountain cheese platter
    South Tyrolean cured ham and Bergkase find the wine's structured Vernatsch register.
  • Roast duck
    Duck fat needs the cuvee's medium tannins; nutmeg and cinnamon echo a Morello-cherry sauce.
  • Mushroom risotto
    Forest mushroom umami threads through the cuvee's dark-chocolate depth.
