TERROIR

Parcels from the historic “Kalterersee Classico Superiore” growing area in the heart of the Alto Adige wine-growing region. Calcareous, sun-drenched sites with fresh evening mountain temperatures and the afternoon “Ora” wind. 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. Hand-picked with the greatest care.

VINIFICATION

Only fully ripe grapes are selected. Traditional must fermentation for 7 days in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 27°C. Maturation in Slavonian/French oak barrels (80 hl) and in steel tanks. A wine made to be drunk young.

TASTING

The classic Kalterersee Classico “per sé” shows a fresh ruby red color and an elegantly fruity bouquet of sour cherries and violets, white pepper and dark chocolate. Delicate tannins and a fresh structure characterize the light and pleasure-driven palate, ending in a juicy-spicy finish. A successful and innovative Kalterersee interpretation between tradition and innovation - a wine that speaks “for itself” (=per sé)!
