It appears a brilliant golden colour, enhanced by a \u003cstrong\u003efine and persistent perlage\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, it reveals a refined bouquet of white flowers, fresh citrus and crisp notes of dried fruit. On the palate, it stands out for its taut entry, marked by vibrant minerality and pronounced savouriness. The lively freshness accompanies a long, harmonious finish, making it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003eelegant seafood starters\u003c\/strong\u003e and shellfish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown around Caldaro, in the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e production area. The vineyards are located at the foot of the Mendola Pass, at an altitude of around six hundred metres, enjoying a privileged \u003cstrong\u003eeastern exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that promotes balanced ripening of the grapes. The terroir is characterised by soils rich in \u003cstrong\u003edolomitic limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e, which impart a pronounced mineral identity and a distinct saline note to the wine.

Primary fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, split between stainless steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich the base wine with elegant nuances. After bottling, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation and a slow \u003cstrong\u003e48-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e on the lees, an essential step for developing its structure and complexity. Disgorgement is carried out in \u003cstrong\u003eBrut Nature style\u003c\/strong\u003e, without the addition of any dosage syrup, to offer a pure, linear sip that remains true to the character of mountain viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1900, the Kellerei Kaltern winery produces this fine sparkling wine at the foot of the Mendola Pass, where the altitude of 600 metres and the \u003cstrong\u003edolomitic limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e soils impart an Alpine character to the wine.
