Trollinger grape variety

Trollinger is a red grape variety from southern Germany, particularly from the Württemberg region. The wines have a light, fruity flavour and are usually light and sparkling. As a rule, Trollinger wines have a low acidity and a light tannin structure, which makes them very accessible wines for everyday enjoyment. The colour of the wine is light red to ruby red and often has aromas of cherries and wild berries. The grape variety has a long history in Württemberg and is closely associated with the region. It is often served in combination with traditional dishes such as Maultaschen or Spätzle. Trollinger is also cultivated in other parts of Germany, albeit in smaller quantities than in Württemberg. In South Tyrol, the vine can be found under the name Vernatsch, while in other regions of Italy it is known as Schiava.
