Its ruby-red hue introduces an elegant \u003cstrong\u003ebouquet of red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it is soft and inviting, supported by a medium structure and a balanced tannic texture, closing with a \u003cstrong\u003efine and lingering finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. Highly versatile at the table, it is at its best when paired with \u003cstrong\u003especk-based first courses\u003c\/strong\u003e, red meats, pork, and medium-aged cheeses, and is best enjoyed when served in a large tulip-shaped glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProvenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003ehilly area of Caldaro\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the province of Bolzano. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of between 450 and 600 metres, grown on trellises using Guyot pruning. The terroir is distinguished by \u003cstrong\u003elimestone-based soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are loose and rich in stones and organic matter. This specific soil composition, combined with the hilly microclimate, ensures ideal conditions for the development of the vines. These environmental factors are reflected in the glass, supporting a \u003cstrong\u003eclear aromatic definition\u003c\/strong\u003e and a naturally silky tannic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the harvest, which takes place between mid and late September, red wine vinification is carried out through meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fermentation begins at controlled temperatures and then increases progressively, ensuring correct colour extraction and tannin stabilisation. Subsequently, the wine matures in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period of four to six months. This targeted ageing accompanies the natural evolution of the wine, allowing the \u003cstrong\u003ecentrality of the fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e to remain the undisputed protagonist of the tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1919, the historic \u003cstrong\u003eKettmeir\u003c\/strong\u003e winery expertly combines traditional craftsmanship and an innovative spirit in the heart of South Tyrol.
