More fleezerhoff from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Blatterle is a very obscure grape grown around Bolzen, with Mayr being the only remaining producer. For a number of yrs, they labeled it as Blaterle because Blatterle is not an authorized grape in the AltoAdige. But they were cited for fraud because that name is too close to Blatterle. So they changed their labeling to the current form.
Schiava also goes by the name Vernatsch & Trollinger. In Trentino/AA, it actually refers to a number of similiar varieties.
These Mayr wines comes thru LouisDressner which carries a lot of natural wines. The wnry, however, does not identify themselves as a natural wine producer. Both of these were clean as a whistle w/ no natty character whatsoever.
