Details of the location
The vineyards extend over south- and east-facing slopes at an altitude of 230 to 450 meters above sea level. The soil consists mainly of loamy limestone gravel with a small proportion of sand.
From grape to wine
The wine is macerated for one week at a controlled temperature of 24 °C,
followed by malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 4 months on the fine
lees, both in stainless steel and concrete tanks.

The perfect accompaniment
This Kalterersee goes perfectly with light Mediterranean cuisine and typical Tyrolean dishes. It unfolds its aroma particularly well with a Alto Adige cold cuts platter with speck, sausage and mild cheese. Try it with pizza too!

The origin of this wine
The Kalterersee for us is both reference and identification point: Firstly, there is a large part of our vineyards around the lake, which bear, just as our winery, the name of the village Caldaro. On the other hand also the wine, that is produced from the Vernatsch grapes from the vineyards around the lake, is called „Kalterersee“.
