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 are born near the Lake of Caldaro and, in particular, for the Kalterersee (Schiava) variety. These are typical bottles produced by a large community with sensitivity, passion, and expertise: fine, complex, and wonderfully simple to love. The winery, which has its roots in distant 1900, took more than a century to become what it is now and what it represents: professionalism, passion, a sense of belonging, experience, and high-quality standards. Today it is one of the most important realities in South Tyrol, and the same wine-growing municipality of Caldaro, the most well-known and loved in the region, is proud of its reputation. In this small patch of land, wine is the great protagonist of the community's life: it has provided and still provides jobs, fills the inhabitants and farmers with pride, and is for many residents a full-time professional commitment pursued with great passion in many different fields, whether among the vineyards, in the cellar, in gastronomy, or in commerce.
Cantina Kaltern is a large family with 650 winegrower members, most of whom own less than one hectare of land (on average 0.7 hectares, which corresponds to a football field), for a total of 450 hectares. They are passionate winemakers who earn their living by practicing other professions and indulge in the art of winemaking during their free time. Part of the enchanting charm of Kaltern certainly comes from this.
The wines of Cantina Kaltern come from the oldest DOC area in South Tyrol and mature in the best soils surrounding Lake Caldaro. They are the result of great sensitivity, passion, and the use of cutting-edge techniques. There are three quality lines: Quintessenz - The most important line, born from the best vineyards of the property. Selezione – from carefully selected vineyards to bring a world of sensations to the glass. Classici - express the most authentic character of the territory and the grape. Let yourself be captivated by the wines from Lake Caldaro that express the most carefree joy of drinking.
