About Cantina Kaltern

The Cantina Kaltern winery is located in the municipality of Kaltern (Caldaro) in the Italian wine-growing area of South Tyrol ( Trentino-South Tyrol region). It was created from the merger of the original four Kaltern winery co-operatives. The Erste Kellerei and Neue Kellerei (founded in 1900 and 1925 respectively) had already merged in 1986 to form the Erste+Neue winery cooperative. In 1992, the Bauernkellerei merged with the Jubiläumskellerei (founded in 1906 and 1908 respectively) to form Cantina Kaltern. In 2016, the final step was taken to create a joint winery, whereby the Erste+Neue brand and wines were retained. Around 590 winegrowing families cultivate a total of around 4,400 hectares of vineyards in the best locations around Lake Kaltern, as well as in other municipalities in South Tyrol.

The vineyards are cultivated according to strict guidelines regarding pruning, fertilisation and harvesting. Around 15% of the vineyards are cultivated organically or biodynamically. The white wine varieties Pinot Bianco, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, Goldmuskateller, Kerner and Riesling are cultivated and processed to 53%, and the red wine varieties Vernatsch (with around 15% of the area), Lagrein, Rosenmuskateller, Blauburgunder/Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir), Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to 47%.

Winemaking

Cantina Kaltern's wide range of products includes various South Tyrolean DOC and IGT wines. White wines that can be drunk young are fermented and matured at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks (some in large wooden barrels), while full-bodied white wines are matured in large wooden barrels, tonneaux and barriques. The fruity Kalterersee is fermented on the skins for just one week at a relatively cool temperature and matured for several months in stainless steel on the fine lees. All other red wines are matured exclusively in wooden barrels.

The best batches ferment spontaneously in wooden vats. Biological acid reductionbiological acid reduction and ageing take place in barriques. The new "Quintessenz" premium line has also been marketed since the 2016 vintage. Five wines from the five leading varieties particularly predestined for Kaltern - Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Vernatsch, Cabernet Sauvignon and, as a noble sweet dessert wine, a Goldmuskateller - are developed in this quality line. A total of around four million bottles of wine are produced each year.
