TERROIR

Sun-drenched, warm vineyards with calcareous soils. Elena Walch’s broad portfolio of terroirs span the best aspects of Alto Adige winegrowing. The vineyards are blessed with a combination of Mediterranean warmth and cool winds from the surrounding Dolomites, creating unique and desirable tension in the wines.

VINIFICATION

Traditional must fermentation for approximately 10 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in large oak vats. The final wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques and is being bottle-aged for several months before being released.

TASTING

The Cabernet “Istrice” impresses with an intense ruby red color and stimulating fruit aromas - red forest berries and heart cherries - on the nose, as well as the seductive spiciness of white pepper and chocolate. On the palate, the wine surprises with a refreshing fullness and structure, with elegant, precise tannins and density, as well as a long, juicy finish.
