This fresh, dangerously drinkable wine comes from one of the region's most respected producers, showcasing the finesse and quality they’re known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"746\" data-start=\"255\"\u003eMade from Vernatsch (Schiava) with a 5% blend of Teroldego and Lagrein, it’s a wine that balances approachability with depth. The grapes are grown on a historic site overlooking Lake Caldaro, where 80-year-old vines, trained in the traditional pergola system, benefit from the south-east facing slopes. The soil here is heat-storing, slightly loamy calcareous gravel, with a low sand content and the unique influence of Dolomite sedimentary rock, giving the wine a distinct mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1062\" data-start=\"748\"\u003eThe harvest takes place at the end of September, with the vines—aged 80-90 years—providing a solid foundation of complexity. After fermentation in wooden vats, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in large wooden barrels until early summer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53319326663021,"sku":"21837","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5327\/0827\/files\/2024IgnazNiedristKaltererseeClassicoSuperioreDOC_AltoAdige_Italy.jpg?v=1778681069","url":"https:\/\/leonandsonwine.com\/products\/2024-ignaz-niedrist-kalterersee-classico-superiore-doc-alto-adige-italy","provider":"Leon \u0026 Son Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
