Kellerei Kaltern (Kaltern-Caldaro)
Quintessenz Kalterersee Classico Superiore Schiava
#altoadige #shiava - medium-light bodied, similar to Pinot Noir but less up-front fruit - stewed cherry, ultra-soft tannins, nice tartness but a bit unsubstantial on the finish. Started to oxidize and fade after a couple of days in wine fridge.

Jun 28th, 2021Lightly smoky on the nose. Drinking right before Christmas and it couldn’t be more appropriate. Reminds me of a lighter version of a Cote Rotie, which is one of my favorites. Love it!

Dec 23rd, 2020Light, transparent ruby. No shortage of funk on the nose - lots of manure, mushrooms, and dried herb with little to no fruit. Medium, but gritty, tannins and less acid than I was expecting. In the mouth the earthiness continues with dark, stewed fruit - lots of plums. This smells better than it taste, but was different and enjoyable for pizza night.
