Weingut Nusserhof 'Elda' Rosso

Location: Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige

Winemaker: Heinrich, Elda & Gloria Mayr

Grapes: Schiava, field blend

From the Importer Louis/Dressner: The wine is named after vignaiolo Heinrich Mayr’s wife Elda. Known locally as Vernatsch, Schiava is a thin-skinned grape native to the Alto Adige. The grapes come from a 1.5 hectare parcel on a steep slope right off the highway and are trained in Pergola.

The vines are very old and the wine is actually a field blend of many grapes both red and white, most of which the Mayrs do not know the origin of. Everything is harvested and co-fermented together.
