Kalterersee Classico Superiore “per sé” Alto Adige DOC 2021

Kalterersee, i.e. Lake Kaltern, Classico, i.e. from the historic region of the appellation, and Superiore, i.e. a quality wine with a slightly higher alcohol content than the 'base'. All this is 'per se', Alto Adige DOC, offered here by Elena Walch. The base is one of South Tyrol's typical grape varieties, the schiava. With its conviviality, youthfulness and friendliness, it fully reflects its land. This vine, a pillar of mountain viticulture, is an integral part of the winery's history and a fundamental part of their identity. The wine has a fresh, ruby red colour. Its bouquet is elegant and fruity. It is reminiscent of black cherry, violet, white pepper and a hint of bitter chocolate. In the mouth, however, it is characterised by its delicate tannins and a fresh structure. This makes the wine easy to drink and pair. Particularly if the classic dishes of South Tyrolean cuisine, such as dumplings, barley soup, or speck, are on the table, but it is also very well suited, thanks to its pliability, to lightly flavoured starters and first courses or to white meats.
