Description
What kind of wine is it
Cantina Andriano Schiava Bocado is a still red wine from Alto Adige, produced by Cantina Andriano entirely from Schiava grapes. It presents a lively ruby red colour, which anticipates a fragrant bouquet on the nose. Aromas of small red fruits and delicate hints of violet stand out, accompanied by the typical scent of toasted almond. On the palate, it is fresh and harmonious, characterised by a pleasant juiciness and supported by light, velvety tannins. The finish, with its distinctive almond note, ensures an easy and immediate drinkability.
Where does it come from
The grapes are grown in Andriano, in the Missiano area, in the heart of Alto Adige. The vineyards, situated between 260 and 500 metres above sea level, benefit from constant ventilation and optimal sun exposure, factors that guarantee ideal ripening while preserving the freshness of the fruit. The clayey, reddish soils, resting on limestone rocks with layers of white dolomitic stone, give this Schiava a distinctly linear expression. This mountain terroir defines an agile structure, balanced acidity and a naturally subtle tannic profile.
How is it produced
Production begins with red vinification involving maceration in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with gentle pumping over to extract colour and preserve the aromatic integrity of the grape variety. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for a short period in large oak barrels. This passage in wood is essential to round out the palate, without overpowering the mountain freshness and juicy character that define the identity of this wine.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the historic cooperative winery founded in 1893, Schiava Bocado by Cantina Andriano is a true tribute to the tradition of Alto Adige DOC. This red wine originates in Missiano, where the vines thrive on reddish clay and dolomite soils, giving the wine a pronounced territorial identity. Careful vinification enhances the qualities of this native grape variety: after fermentation in steel, maturation in large oak barrels softens its naturally light tannins. A harmonious and fruity sip, an expression of the mountain terroir.

Today the strengths of the two wine estates are combined and yet clearly distinct from each other. With its outstanding sites, Cantina Andriano stands for constancy, underpinned by the historic achievement of the Andriano winegrowers for wines like Lagrein, which was one of the first to be aged in barriques here.
On the basis of a consistent commitment to quality and a strong focus on terroir, which had already been a successful recipe in Terlano, Cantina Andriano continues to develop step by step. The winery now looks to the future from a position of strength and can be proud of its identity and standard of quality. They have their roots in unique limestone-rich soils, a climate that is quite different from that of Terlano, and grape varieties ideally suited to these parameters.
That forms the foundation for the distinctive Andriano taste and identity. Read more
