Details of the location

The vineyards extend over south- and east-facing slopes at an altitude of 230 to 450 meters above sea level. The soil consists mainly of loamy limestone gravel with a small proportion of sand.

From grape to wine

The wine is macerated for one week at a controlled temperature of 24 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 4 months on the fine lees, both in stainless steel and concrete tanks.

The wine in the glass

− light cherry red color
− dominant fruit tones of cherry and raspberry, with a touch of bitter almonds
− voluminous, very soft on the palate, pure drinking pleasure

The perfect accompaniment

This Kalterersee goes perfectly with light Mediterranean cuisine and typical Tyrolean dishes. It unfolds its aroma particularly well with a Alto Adige cold cuts platter with speck, sausage and mild cheese. Try it with pizza too!

The origin of this wine

The Kalterersee for us is both reference and identification point: Firstly, there is a large part of our vineyards around the lake, which bear, just as our winery, the name of the village Caldaro. On the other hand also the wine, that is produced from the Vernatsch grapes from the vineyards around the lake, is called „Kalterersee“.
