Alto Adige Riserva DOC Cabernet Sauvignon Vigna 'Castel Ringberg' 2018 (750 ml.) Elena Walch
The Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Vigna Castel Ringberg 2018 by Elena Walch comes from the vineyard overlooking Lake Caldaro, where clay and limestone soils provide depth and character. The 2018 vintage, warm but balanced by a fresh, breezy September, allowed slow and complete ripening, enhancing balance and freshness. Advanced harvesting and transport techniques preserved grape integrity. The wine ages 18 months in French oak barriques and then in bottle, gaining complexity. The bouquet shows berries, blackberries, blueberries, plums, spices, tobacco, cloves, and dark chocolate. The palate reveals body, fruity savor, soft tannins, and balanced acidity, with a long finish. Perfect with red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
