Description
Alto Adige DOC still white wine, 14% vol., produced by Kaltern Caldaro. 100% Pinot Bianco. A wine born from the passion of a historic winery, which has been producing high-quality wines since 1900. The vineyards are located at 550-600 m above sea level in St. Nikolaus, facing east. Extremely slow pressing of the whole grapes, spontaneous fermentation of the unfiltered must in 500-liter oak barrels and in large wooden barrels. Aged in wood for 10 months, on the fine lees with continuous bâtonnage. A broad bouquet with fruity notes and herbal nuances; fresh yellow apple, honeydew melon, dried chamomile, and notes of graphite. Bright straw yellow with light green highlights. On the palate, it is harmonious with a salty finish, creamy texture, and crisp acidity; a pleasant aftertaste.
