Schiava Grigia

The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Cenerina, Grauvernatsch, Grauer Trollinger, Grauer Vernatsch, Graur and Vernatsch Grau. The grey colour (grigia) in the name does not refer to the berries (which are blue-violet), but to the flowers. The variety is a member of the heterogeneous Schiava name group.

Schiava Grigia - Weintraube und Blatt

Characteristics

It should not be confused with the varieties Schiava Gentile, Schiava Grossa or Schiava Lombarda due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities. The medium-ripening vine produces fruity red wines with soft tannins and flavours of almonds and violets similar to other Schiava varieties.
