Made from Gewürztraminer grapes and matured in steel, it stands out for its full body and \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e that envelops the palate, supported by a pleasant fruity sweetness. The bouquet is clear and varietal, characterised by notes of rose petals, lychee and pineapple, enriched by delicate spicy nuances. On the palate, it is round and velvety, finishing with a \u003cstrong\u003elong aromatic persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for accompanying spicy dishes, mature cheeses and shellfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Gewürztraminer originates in Alto Adige, on the hillside slopes of Caldaro, in an area historically suited to this variety. The vineyards benefit from south and east exposure, at an altitude between 350 and 450 metres, conditions that allow for \u003cstrong\u003efull ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003ewell-drained soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of calcareous clay and silty gravel. The soil's ability to retain heat encourages the development of a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine its typical structure and a clear territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003elate harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e of perfectly ripe bunches. After destemming, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003ecold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e for twelve hours, essential for gently extracting the aromas from the skins. Following gentle pressing and natural settling, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the grape's primary aromas. The process concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e on fine lees for three months. This careful management ensures the typical smoothness on the palate and gives the wine an intense straw-yellow colour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eGewürztraminer\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the historical roots of Termeno, a South Tyrolean village where this noble variety has been mentioned since the 14th century. The grape boasts a centuries-old and prestigious tradition in the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e, a region that enhances its enveloping intensity. The fine wines from the Kaltern winery have always delighted the most discerning palates, to the extent that they were historically served at the \u003cstrong\u003eImperial Court of Vienna\u003c\/strong\u003e. A legacy of excellence confirmed over time, as evidenced by the Best Buy award from Wine \u0026amp; Spirits magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kaltern Caldaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46376429912235,"sku":"60911","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/caldaro-gewurztraminer-2025_60911_1_d84a92ba-d6c6-4044-b64b-0aa1772cf9a8.webp?v=1775057397","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-fi\/products\/caldaro-gewurztraminer-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
