The Ignaz Niedrist Kalterersee Classico Superiore DOC is a stunning example of Alto Adige's best. This fresh, dangerously drinkable wine comes from one of the region's most respected producers, showcasing the finesse and quality they’re known for.
Made 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.
