Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva 'Quintessenz' Alto Adige DOC Cantina di Caldaro 2018

Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva 'Quintessenz' Alto Adige DOC is an excellent red produced by the Cantina di Caldaro company, a famous winery in Alto Adige. It is obtained from the single-variety vinification of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, an international vine that is perfectly at ease on the slopes overlooking Lake Caldaro, the ideal environment for the ripening of the grapes. The soil, with high percentages of silt and limestone, gives the grapes complexity and unmistakable aromas, which the company preserves with rigorous work between the rows. After a maceration on the skins and a fermentation phase, the refinement process involves a rest of a year and a half in French oak barriques. Before being bottled, the Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva 'Quintessenz' Alto Adige DOC is lightly filtered to obtain an excellent qualitative result also from a visual point of view. It is perfect immediately, but thanks to the passage in wood and the quality of the grapes, this wine can also be opened after 4 or 5 years of aging in the cellar.
