The Alto Adige Meranese Schiava DOC "Fü'rs" from the Cantina Merano is a complex, delicate, and juicy red wine with fine tannins. Thanks to the careful use of wood during aging, the red Schiava "Fü'rs" has nothing to fear when compared to an excellent Pinot Noir.
Above the village of Lagundo, nestled like a true gem, lies a special vineyard, facing south, with a long and extraordinary history behind it.
