Descrizione

Il Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC di Kaltern si distingue per il suo profilo aromatico vivace e rinfrescante, tipico delle uve Sauvignon Blanc coltivate nei vigneti dell'Alto Adige. Questo vino offre una brillante tonalità giallo paglierino con riflessi verdognoli. Al naso, si percepiscono note intense di frutta tropicale come mango e papaia, accompagnate da sentori di agrumi, fiori di sambuco e un tocco erbaceo tipico del varietale.

Al palato, il Sauvignon di Kaltern è fresco e vivace, con un'acidità equilibrata che rende la bevuta particolarmente piacevole e versatile. I sapori fruttati si rispecchiano perfettamente, integrati da una leggera mineralità che esalta la struttura del vino. Questo Sauvignon si abbina magnificamente a piatti di pesce, crostacei, formaggi freschi e primi piatti a base di verdure.

Winery history

The winery traces its roots to the early 20th century: the company’s history began with cooperatives and small local wineries founded around 1900 and, through mergers over the course of the 20th century and in 2016, became the present-day Cantina Kaltern, which brings together hundreds of members and manages the vineyards around the lake.

Production philosophy

Collective production and connection to the territory: the cooperative values the work of its members, seeks quality and typicity linked to the lake's microclimate and the varying exposures of the vineyards, and focuses on sustainability in managing the vineyard landscape.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are spread around Lago di Caldaro, on alternating porphyritic and calcareous soils, with varied exposures and altitudes ranging from approximately 200 to 850 meters. An Alpine–Mediterranean influenced climate favors both aromatic white varieties and elegant reds.

Awards and recognitions

Awarded and reviewed wines by national and international guides and competitions.
