The Leuchtenberg Kalterersee Auslese Classico Sup. Alto Adige from Kellerei Kaltern in Trentino-Alto Adige presents a bright, ruby red color in the swirled glass.

As if that wasn't already impressive, the ageing in concrete adds further aromas such as cinnamon, whole nut chocolate and walnut.

On the palate, the Leuchtenberg Kalterersee Auslese Classico Sup. Alto Adige from Kellerei Kaltern opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. Some wines are dry, others bone-dry.

With its lively fruit acidity, the Leuchtenberg Kalterersee Auslese Classico Sup. Alto Adige is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region finally delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of plum and violet.

Vinification of the Leuchtenberg Kalterersee Auslese Classico Sup. Alto Adige from Kellerei Kaltern

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Vernatsch. Only first-class grapes were brought in for this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Kellerei Kaltern. After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
