Kalterersee Classico Superiore Alto Adige DOC - Kellerei Kaltern

The Kellerei Kaltern Kalterersee Classico is a first-class red wine. It offers a wonderfully brilliant ruby red color. The first nose of the Kalterersee Classico reveals nuances of blackcurrants, blueberries and black cherries. The fruity parts of the bouquet are joined by even more fruity-balsamic nuances.

On the palate, the Kalterersee Classico from Kellerei Kaltern opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. There is dry and really dry. This red wine belongs to the latter, as it was vinified with just 2.1 g of residual sugar. This creamy red wine is light-footed and complex on the palate. The balanced fruit acidity gives the Kalterersee Classico a velvety mouthfeel without lacking in juicy liveliness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region, more precisely from Alto Adige / South Tyrol DOC, is impressive with a remarkable aftertaste.

Vinification of the Kalterersee Classico from Kellerei Kaltern

This elegant red wine from Italy is made from the Vernatsch grape variety. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. Once the wine is finished, the Kalterersee Classico is carefully harmonized.
