St Magdalena. Or rather St. Magdalener. In each case DOC. We are talking about one of the most interesting red wines in the Alto Adige area. Here in the interpretation (as always masterful) of the winery of the Abbey of Novacella. It is described as the most full-bodied of the wines made from the Schiava grape. A wine that is capable of giving great satisfaction both when young and if you have the patience to wait a while before uncorking it. In this case, a small percentage of Lagrein grapes is added to the Schiava, about 90%. Both vines are grown using the traditional pergola system, which guarantees lower yields but decidedly high quality. Brilliant ruby red, it is a symphony of fruit and flowers. From cherries to violets. In the mouth it is harmonious and velvety, with a slight aftertaste of bitter almonds. In summer, it can be served slightly cooler than normal as an unconventional aperitif. In winter, on the other hand, it is a very satisfying accompaniment to meat and game dishes.
It is impossible to think of South Tyrol as a wine-producing area without looking at the hills where the vineyards of the historic Abbey of Novacella are located. This is one of the oldest still active wineries in the world. The first documentary evidence of the Abbey dates back to 1100. In 1177, to be precise, Pope Alexander III granted the monastery possession of the nearby vineyards and over the centuries, through donations, foundations, purchases and exchanges, the Abbey accumulated considerable vineyard holdings. Some of these are still in the hands of the present-day company. From the bottom of the valley, i.e. from about 600 metres above sea level, the vineyards of Novacella reach an altitude of almost 900 metres. Even today, many farmers still bring their best grapes to the abbey's wine cellar so that they can be carefully processed into the excellent wines that are appreciated all over the world.
