K Rosé' Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern 2024

The Rosé from Cantina di Caldaro is born from a blend of red grape varieties grown in the area of Lake Caldaro. The mild and sunny climate and the suitable soils allow for grapes with an intense aromatic profile. The aging only in steel preserves the fruity aromas of the grapes intact, highlighting their varietal typicity. It is a rich and well-structured rosé, which highlights a strong gastronomic propensity.

The wine "K Rosé" from Cantina di Caldaro is obtained from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero, and Lagrein, which reach perfect ripeness on the shores of Lake Caldaro and along the slopes that rise towards the nearby mountains. The soils have a heterogeneous and complex composition, with ancient soils generated from the disintegration of porphyries and dolomites, then covered by glacial moraine deposits and alluvial deposits from the Adige. Thus, a series of natural terraces have formed, perfect for vine cultivation. The vineyards have an average age between 6 and 16 years and are trained in Guyot with yields that do not exceed 60 quintals per hectare. Once the harvest is completed, the grapes are gently pressed and after a brief contact with the skins, the must is fermented in steel at low temperatures. The wine partially undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages on the lees for several months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled.

The "K Rosé" produced by Cantina di Caldaro is a wine faithful to the South Tyrolean tradition of producing rather intense and rich rosés, to be enjoyed at the table with local cured meats or delicate white meats. In the glass, it presents a color almost cerasuolo pink. On the nose, it expresses aromas of small red berries, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, floral nuances, and slight spicy notes. On the palate, it has a good structure with fresh and crunchy fruit, with a soft and harmonious sip and a finish of great taste balance.
