Südtirol - Alto Adige DOC Quintessenz Pinot Bianco 2021 Cantina Caldaro

The Pinot Bianco of the Quintessenz line of the Kaltern-Caldaro winery, its labels of excellence, is produced with grapes from vineyards facing east with an average age of 16-26 years, located in St. Nikolaus di Egna, in the province of Bolzano, at an altitude of 550-600 meters above sea level.

The vinification involves an extremely slow pressing of the whole grapes, then the spontaneous fermentation of the must in barrels. Maturation in wood for 10 months follows, interspersed with continuous cycles of bâtonnage.

Its color is straw yellow with light green brushstrokes. The nose focuses on fruity and herbaceous notes, accompanied by hints of yellow apple, melon, chamomile and graphite. The palate is harmonious and creamy in texture, with a pleasant fresh and salty aftertaste.

Wine for fish soup and herb risotto, it goes very well with all fish-based recipes and grilled poultry.
