Merlot-Cabernet Alto Adige DOC - Kellerei Kaltern

In the glass, the Merlot-Cabernet Alto Adige from the Kaltern Winery reveals a bright purple-red color. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of mulberries, morello cherries, blueberries and black cherries in the glass. There are also hints of gingerbread spice, cocoa bean and cinnamon.

The Merlot-Cabernet Alto Adige from Kellerei Kaltern is the right wine for all wine lovers who like as little sweetness as possible in their wine. However, it is never austere or brittle, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully fleshy and dense. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the Merlot-Cabernet Alto Adige flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. On the finish, this storable red wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of plum and black cherry.
