Description
Still white wine from Alto Adige, 13.5% ABV, produced by Kettmeir, a historic winery since 1919. 100% Chardonnay, 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine that embodies the Alto Adige winemaking tradition, with grapes grown between 350 and 600 meters above sea level. Traditional off-the-skins fermentation with soft pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Aged in stainless steel on the lees until the end of January. Delicate and fresh bouquet with hints of ripe Golden Delicious apple and banana. Straw yellow in the glass, it is dry on the palate, with good acidity, good body, and a very pleasant finish.

Tradition as a value to be handed down, and progress as a vision to be perpetuated. Innovators, but with the awareness that one must not abandon the heritage of tradition, preserved as a fundamental bond with the land and one's own history.
One example is the architecture of the Kettmeir winery, preserved intact since the Second World War as a precious testimony to its past. And it is in the historic wine cellar, where both the wines rest in barrels and the classic method sparkling wines on ancient pupitres, that part of Kettmeir's success is realised under the watchful eye of oenologist Josef Romen.
The other place is the vineyards, stretching from Kaltern to the Ebnicherhof to Salurn, where Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Moscato rosa and many other grape varieties grow, cultivated with absolute care, respecting all their varietal peculiarities. In every grape, the history of this land. In every drop, the know-how of its people. In every bubble, a way of being. Read more
