Curiosity
The Eisack river is the main tributary of the Etsch (Adige) and its river valley is called the Eisacktal. It rises at the Brenner and runs into the Etsch at Bozen. Ancient authors called the river "Isarcus" or "Isargus". Only Strabo called it "Atagis" instead of Isarcus.
Food Pairing
Ideal pairings include shrimp, lobster, liver pâté, soft cheeses, desserts, or just as an aperitif. Also excellent with Sushi!
Vintage 2020
Among the white wines, 2020 presents itself as a good vintage on average with very nice Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. The winemakers are very satisfied with the Pinot Noir and Lagrein. The Merlot and especially the Cabernet had to be harvested somewhat earlier than planned because of the weather conditions – with good but not surprisingly good qualities. The 2020 Schiava (Vernatsch) comes through as somewhat leaner than in previous years. At lower elevation locations, the 2020 harvest volumes were around five percent lower than in the previous year, and at the higher elevations, around ten percent lower. (Südtirol Wein)
