Made in Francavilla Fontana, Albachiara captures the dawn-like brightness suggested by its name. The warm climate of Puglia and cool fermentation techniques preserve the grape’s melon and mango notes while maintaining a crisp, refreshing texture. Stainless-steel ageing ensures purity and a clean, fruit-driven style ideal for seafood and aperitif occasions.

Albachiara – Malvasia Bianca Salento IGP presents in the glass with a straw-yellow colour and clear luminosity. The wine opens with fresh melon and ripe mango, followed by gentle tropical fruit accents. On the palate it is smooth, fresh, balanced and persistent, offering a clean finish with lingering melon and mango notes.

Pairing: Excellent with seafood, shellfish, light appetizers or as a refreshing aperitif.

The Schiena Vini project was launched in 1991 by Giuseppe Schiena, who grew up in a family of winemakers. In 1993, he acquired 30 hectares of vineyards in the picturesque landscape of Francavilla Fontana, known as the “Land of the Emperors.” The foundation for producing quality wine lies in immaculate and fragrant grapes, and the estate places the greatest importance on the careful cultivation of its vineyards.

The vineyards are located in northern Salento, around Francavilla Fontana. The soils are medium-textured and rich in limestone, with some prominent rocky outcrops; the area benefits from an ideal microclimate for the development of colorful and aromatic grapes.

Schiena’s winery works nearly 360 days a year, investing eyes, hands, feelings, and heart. This passion makes it possible to obtain healthy, fragrant grapes without the use of chemicals. Harvesting is carried out exclusively and consistently by hand.

The company’s environmentally friendly approach is also reflected in the choice of lightweight bottles and the limited use of sulfites, underscoring its commitment to sustainable practices.

On its 35 hectares of vineyards, Schiena produces around 40,000 bottles of white and red wine annually. The range focuses on traditional Apulian grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, Susumaniello, and Malvasia, aiming more for quality than for quantity.
