Now all you have to do is have fun and experiment, to discover a territory known for its elegance and rigor, accompanied by love and dedication to the land.

The Huck Am Bach St. Magdalener Classico by Kellerei Bozen is an elegant and refined red wine, an authentic expression of the territory of Santa Maddalena, on the hills overlooking Bolzano. This area, renowned for the production of high-quality wines, is characterized by an Alpine-Mediterranean climate, with hot and breezy summers and cold and snowy winters. These particular climatic conditions, combined with a moraine-gravel soil rich in minerals, give the grapes unique characteristics, which are reflected in the wine. The Schiava grapes, which form the basis of this wine, are carefully cultivated by the members of Kellerei Bozen, a highly prestigious wine cooperative that operates in compliance with tradition and the environment. The harvest is carried out manually, generally between early and mid-October, with a careful selection of the best bunches. The vinification follows traditional methods, with a maceration of the skins to extract color and tannins and an aging in oak barrels of different sizes, for a variable period depending on the vintage.

The result is a wine with an intense ruby ​​red color, with garnet reflections. On the nose, it opens with an elegant and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry), flowers (violet, rose), spices (cinnamon, cloves) and a light hint of bitter almond. In the mouth, the wine is dry, warm, velvety, with soft tannins and good acidity. The finish is persistent, with a fruity and spicy aftertaste. Huck Am Bach St. Magdalener Classico is a versatile wine that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It pairs perfectly with traditional South Tyrolean cuisine, such as dumplings, goulash, speck and mountain cheeses, but also with Italian cuisine, such as first courses with meat sauce, grilled red meats, game and roasts. Thanks to its balanced structure and aromatic complexity, it can also be enjoyed with mushrooms, truffles and mature cured meats.
