Schreckbichl St. Magdalener

The St. Magdalener from the Schreckbichl estate proves to be a typical representative of its origin: light-footed, uncomplicated, and with that velvety freshness that the Schiava grape produces in the hills around Bolzano. A red wine for carefree enjoyment without much fuss.

The Schreckbichl winery, also known as Colterenzio, is one of the established cooperative wineries in South Tyrol, based in Eppan. The grapes for this St. Magdalener come from the sun-drenched steep slopes around the eponymous St. Magdalena hill near Bolzano, where Schiava (Vernatsch) is traditionally blended with a small portion of Lagrein – for additional color depth and structure.

In the glass, it reveals bright cherry, violets, and a hint of almond, accompanied by a fine spicy note. On the palate, the wine appears lean, with soft tannins and a juicy pull. The finish remains short and lively, with a final hint of bright cherry.

Serve it at 14 to 16 °C; it unfolds its interplay of aromas best when slightly chilled. It pairs well with South Tyrolean speck, Schlutzkrapfen, or grilled vegetables and is equally suitable for a convivial evening that requires no great ceremony.

The Winery

Kellerei Schreckbichl

Kellerei Schreckbichl has stood for South Tyrolean winemaking art since 1960. Back then, 26 winegrowers joined forces to be more independent and to be able to manage their vineyards even better together. Over the decades, this idea has become a success story: today, the cooperative has around 300 members who together cultivate about 300 hectares of vineyards – between 230 and 650 meters above sea level, in one of the best locations in South Tyrol.

Tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: careful manual labor in the vineyard, natural cultivation, and state-of-the-art cellar technology complement each other to create a business that not only preaches responsibility but lives it – for example with its own photovoltaics and heat recovery in the cellar. These high altitudes between Alpine air and Mediterranean warmth give the grapes exactly the freshness and ripeness that makes South Tyrolean wines so special.

The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the local Vernatsch – authentic wines with a clear regional expression. Schreckbichl is therefore much more than a cooperative: it is an association with an attitude that shows how community and quality can strengthen each other.
