Made from \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes grown in the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e region, it displays a bright ruby red hue. On the palate, it reveals clear fruity notes of cherry, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003esoft, fine tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the sip a delicate, velvety persistence. The character of this wine is defined by meticulous vinification, followed by \u003cstrong\u003ethirty-six months of ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, half of which are spent in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich its aromatic profile without overpowering its elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards dedicated to this wine stretch between Caldaro and Bolzano, at an altitude between 400 and 550 metres. The area benefits from a constantly breezy climate and \u003cstrong\u003ecool nights\u003c\/strong\u003e that promote slow and optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003emineral marl\u003c\/strong\u003e resting on calcareous gravel, a specific composition that gives the wine a clear aromatic definition. Cultivation follows the strict principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining low yields to ensure the high quality of the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful selection of ripe \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, which ferment in wooden vats at a controlled temperature. This process is accompanied by a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-week maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential for extracting colour and structure. Afterwards, the wine completes malolactic fermentation to soften any harshness. The evolution continues in fine \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, a stage in which the wine acquires complexity, before concluding with a \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e followed by a \u003cstrong\u003elight filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e to ensure perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the picturesque hills of South Tyrol, the \u003cstrong\u003eKaltern Saltner Pinot Nero Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses the authenticity of a mineral-rich soil refreshed by night-time breezes. Produced using organic farming methods at altitudes between 400 and 550 metres, the 2022 vintage acquires extraordinary complexity thanks to a \u003cstrong\u003e36-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e, 18 of which are spent in oak barrels. This highly elegant red, awarded an impressive \u003cstrong\u003e93 points by James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e, already offers a delightful tasting experience, while also promising splendid development in the cellar over the next ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kaltern Caldaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44905447194795,"sku":"55451","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/caldaro-pinot-nero-riserva-saltner-2022_55451_1_77356993-7c98-463c-92c9-8e7619091228.webp?v=1773760273","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-fi\/products\/caldaro-pinot-nero-riserva-saltner-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
