Growing Conditions
The vineyards extend around Lake Kaltern, mainly in south-eastern locations. The soil consists of loamy-sandy limestone gravel and the microclimate is characterized by the warm lake weather.
Winemaking
Vinification begins with a one-week maceration at a controlled temperature of 24 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation. This is followed by 6 months of ageing on the fine lees, both in stainless steel and in concrete tanks.

Food Pairing
