Schiava – Trentino DOC organic 2021

SCHIAVA 2021
TRENTINO DOC ORGANIC

Encarnadìn, a rosé obtained from organic cultivation of the autochthonous Schiava varietal.

 

VINEYARD CHARACTERISTICS

Seasonal performance The 2021 vintage was characterised by alternating seasonal trends and rather extreme situations, but on the whole it was interesting in terms of quality. Sprouting was delayed due to the cold
weather in April, with limited bud fertility. Flowering was also delayed, but took place very quickly. Subsequently, hailstorms affected almost the entire area on several occasions, but fortunately the damage was light in light of the optimal climatic conditions that followed and the selection and cleaning work carried out by the members. At the harvest, the vines presented themselves excellently and with a reduced production load: healthy, well-matured bunches with an optimal acid balance, also due to the delayed ripening.
Production area Hill slope in the Tennese area.
Grape variety used 100% Schiava.
Type of terrain Medium texture, verging on calcareous.
Training system Pergola Trentina trellis.
Production Approximately 10,000 kilos of grapes per hectare.

 

VINIFICATION AND AGEING

Harvest On 21 September, with the grapes carefully selected by hand during the coolest time of day (morning) and transported to the cellar in small containers.
Vinification This was followed by pre-fermentation maceration on the skins for 4-5 hours in the press, after which the must was kept in enclosure at low temperatures for a week before static decantation. Alcoholic fermentation occurred over 9 days at a temperature of about 17 °C (63 °F).
Ageing Ageing took place in steel tanks, on the fine lees. At the end of April, the wine was stabilised and prepared for bottling, which took place on 23 May 2022. 5,330 bottles were produced. This was followed by a suitable period of ageing in glass.
