In the glass, it stands out for its ruby red colour, introducing an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e of red fruits. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003esmooth and inviting\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a medium structure and a fine, persistent aftertaste. Highly versatile at the table, it pairs perfectly with first courses featuring speck, main courses of \u003cstrong\u003ered meats\u003c\/strong\u003e or pork, and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pinot Nero grapes are grown in the prestigious hilly area of Caldaro. The vineyards, situated at an altitude between 450 and 600 metres, are trained using the Guyot system. The \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, loose and rich in stones and organic matter, provide the vines with optimal conditions for development. The typical Alto Adige microclimate encourages splendid \u003cstrong\u003earomatic definition\u003c\/strong\u003e and a silky, well-balanced tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place between mid and late September, followed by red vinification with \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fermentation begins at low temperatures and then gradually increases, in order to extract colour and stabilise the tannins. Afterwards, the wine matures in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period of between four and six months. This careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the wine to evolve in a balanced way, ensuring the fruit remains the main feature of its sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1919, \u003cstrong\u003eKettmeir\u003c\/strong\u003e is a historic winery in Alto Adige that skilfully combines tradition and innovation.
