Per Sé Kalterersee Classico Superiore DOC - Elena Walch

Per Sé Kalterersee Classico Superiore from Elena Walch of Trentino-Alto Adige shows a bright ruby red color in the glass. To the nose, this Elena Walch red wine reveals all sorts of plums, black currants, mulberries, blackberries and morello cherries. As if that wasn't already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds brittle, whole nut chocolate and roasted almond.

Balanced and complex, this velvety red wine presents itself on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Per Sé Kalterersee Classico Superiore flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking juicy liveliness. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Trentino-Alto Adige finally delights with good length. Once again, hints of plum and mulberry appear. In the finish, mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Elena Walch Per Sé Kalterersee Classico Superiore

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Vernatsch. Only immaculate grape material was brought in for this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Elena Walch. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone. After manual harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months in French and Slavonian barrels.
