Kaltern Alto Adige Weißburgunder DOC Vial

KALTERN PINOT BIANCO 'VIAL'

Characteristic: White wine, dry

Denomination: Alto Adige DOC

Grape: 100% Pinot Bianco

Terroir: East-facing slope at 500 to 550 meters above sea level. This vineyard, located at the foot of the Mendel Mountains, has optimal conditions during the ripening period for fruit-focused white wines. Sunny days, which are not too hot, and cool nights, which build fruit character and preserve acidity; loamy conglomerate soils with chalky gravels and porphyry sand.

Earnings: 60 hl/ha

Vinification: Whole-cluster pressing of ripe and healthy grapes, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 16-18 °C (20% in the large casks), 5-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.

Description: The well-drained, loamy chalk gravel of the vineyard Vial, perched 500 m above sea level offers the best conditions for grapes of an elegant, fruity character. Through a gentle and natural cellaring, the wine's racy, fresh aromas are preserved. Straw-yellow tinged with green, our Weissburgunder, or Pinot blanc, presents a fruity nose of green apples and white blossoms. On the palate, this wine is fresh, lively and crisp, and surprises with its impressively full body.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs well with light appetizers, fish dishes and also as an Aperitif.

Serving temperature: 10-12°
