Azienda Agricola Schiavi Andrea

In Gropparello, on the hills of the Piacenza Val Tidone, Azienda Agricola Schiavi Andrea operates within a single denomination, Val Tidone IGT, which encompasses nine municipalities along the eponymous valley. It is a transitional territory, where aromatic whites and characterful reds coexist, and where microclimates change rapidly with altitude and exposure. The varietal selection reflects this vocation. The winery favors Malvasia bianca aromatica, Moscato bianco, and Trebbiano romagnolo, vinified in still, sparkling, and red versions, each with a minimum alcohol content of 10.5%. The research focuses on the genuineness of the grape variety and the soil's response in different corners of the denomination, seeking legibility rather than power. The resulting wines are designed to convey the original aroma of the grape and the mark of the soil that nourishes it. In an Apennine valley where effervescence is an identifying trait, Schiavi Andrea interprets Val Tidone as an exercise in varietal fidelity, measuring each label by the direct relationship between plant and microclimate rather than by cellar artifice.
