Cabernet Sauvignon Ris. Kastelt - 2021 - 0.75 lt. - vine cellar Colterenzio

Cabernet Sauvignon struggles to ripen in South Tyrol, though not in the sun drenched slopes of Colterenzio, where the unique, unmistakable character of our "Katèlt" unfolds to the full.

Deion: Impressive depth of colour; sweet currant and plum fruit with cassis, herbs, earth and liquorice aromas nicely intermingled in this elegant, full-textured wine; subtle but savoury on the palate, supple with ripe, sweet tannins.

Food Choices: Roast beef with trimmings, lamb steaks glazed with balsamic vinegar and redcurrants, venison and game, mature cheeses. A wine for discerning oenophiles. Serve cool, 18°C.

Grape Variety: 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon vertical espalier-trained plantings with approx. 5,000 vines per hectare.

Sites: Girlan/Schreckbichl. Medium-rich morainal and gravelly soils.

Yield: 45 hl/ha

Winemaking: Fermentation with the skins in stainless steel tanks with the temperature controlled at 28-30°C. The skins are constantly pushed down gently into the embryonic wine to extract a maximum of colour, flavour and ripe tannins. The wine is subsequently matured in oak for 18 months, 1/3 of the total in 35 hl casks, 2/3 in French barriques. The wine is subsequently gently fined, bottled and matured for a further 12 months before release.
