Kellerei Kaltern (Kaltern-Caldaro)
Pfarrhof Kalterersee Classico Superiore Schiava
Caldaro, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Alpine red made from the #schiava (say it with me: shkee-ah-vuh) grape.
Peppercorns, plum pith, tart berries, with mouthwatering acidity and some fierce tannin for such an elegant red.

Pfarrhof is a Cru just around the shores of Lake Caldaro, Südtirol. Hot vintage 2015 expresses a ready to drink wine for this Vernatsch based Kalterersee. Quite a different profile from the too fresh 2014 vintage. Less acidity, with a very nice and slight sweetness balanced with long saltiness. Well done wine from a not easy vintage. #kalterersee

May 16th, 2016Spicy, elegant, clean. If #pinotnoir is a prince, #vernatsch is a princess. You can drink it with almost any food, from fish to meat. Just be careful with the temperature: it has to be cold!

The wine has a dark ruby hue, with almost no light admitted through it in the glass. Aromas are subtle and indicative of a cool vintage in a cool-climate region - raspberries and minerals with dark savory notes of black olives and roasted nuts. More fruit comes through on the palate, with strawberries lending some ripeness to the tart raspberry flavor. The level of acidity is a marvel and the ripest fruit is saved for the finish.

(15.5/20) Свежий малиновый аромат с лёгкой цветочной нотой. Лёгкое тело, свежая кислотность. Во вкусе не хватает насыщенности и выпирает алкоголь.

A little lighter than expected, but rich and went well with steak.

Nice medium-to-lite summer red. Good with lite pasta on a hot day.
