The Alto Adige Kalterersee Classico by Cantina Caldaro (Kaltern) is the ultimate expression of its territory, a unique red wine deeply tied to the identity of Lake Caldaro. Crafted from Schiava grapes, it shines in the glass with a brilliant ruby-red color and an ABV of 12.5%. The nose reveals delicate aromas of ripe red fruit and bitter almond, while the palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and a good finish. It pairs beautifully with speck, traditional cold cuts, dumpling broth, mushroom dishes, and white meats. Serve at 14-16°C.
