The Elena Walch 2023 Schiava Alto Adige DOC is a vibrant, light-bodied red wine that captures the essence of its Alpine terroir. It presents a bright ruby hue and opens with delicate aromas of cherry, complemented by subtle floral and herbal notes. On the palate, it offers harmonious flavors of wild cherry, mulberry, and plum skin, underpinned by gentle acidity and soft tannins.
