Lake Caldaro Kalterersee Classico Superiore DOC 'Quintessenz' 2022 (750 ml.) Winery of Caldaro Kaltern
The Kalterersee Classico Superiore 'Quintessenz' from Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern is a refined and fruity wine. It is part of the high-end line from Kaltern, one of the most important and representative realities of the Alto Adige region. It matures in wood for about 6 months before being bottled. Very delicate fruity aromas, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, well accompanied by light hints of almond.

An excellent accompaniment to light appetizers, cold cuts, and fresh Tyrolean cheeses or with not overly elaborate white meats.

THE COMPANY
Cantina Kaltern is a historic cooperative that represents the entire municipality and its wine producers. It is the spokesperson for the wines that originate near Lake Caldaro and, in particular, for the Kalterersee variety (Schiava). These are typical bottles produced by a large community with sensitivity, passion, and expertise: fine, complex, and wonderfully simple to love.
