Sauvignon Blanc 'Quintessenz' by Kellerei Kaltern is a refined and aromatic wine. It is part of the Kaltern high-end line, one of the most important and representative realities of the South Tyrolean territory. The vineyards are located in Pianizza di Sopra in the province of Bolzano, on the hills surrounding Lake Caldaro. It ages in wood for a period of about 10 months, before being bottled. Intense aromas of yellow and white fruit, including peach and apple, aromas of gooseberry and exotic fruit, floral notes and mineral scents, memories of balsamic herbs and spices. Structured, soft and fine, excellent freshness and intense minerality with a pleasant persistence in the finish. Excellent accompaniment to fish dishes, white meats, risottos and aged cheeses.
