Illusions, Vernatsch 2019

With this very complex and time-consuming vinification, I would like to push the potential of the Vernatsch grape variety to the extreme.
Unlike usual, this Schiava was partially fermented with even 100% stalks
Unlike usual, a very long mash contact time was also carried out after the end of fermentation
Unlike usual, this Vernatsch was then aged in small wooden barrels (225 l barrique).
Unlike usual, the mash and must were moved almost exclusively by gravity (without a pump).
Unlike usual, the result is:
A powerful, complex and storable Schiava, with ripe notes and a very elegant and refined tannin structure.
Long-lasting on the palate and very complex on the finish due to the many different individual vinifications.
