Lake of caldaro classico Sea 2023 - 14,5% vol. Andi Sölva Winery

Description: 
Ruby red with violet reflections. The bouquet has a clear varietal character, composed of lively notes of cherry, raspberry, violet and black pepper. Equally typical on the palate, somewhat rustic and with a hint of bitter almonds. 

Grape variety: 
Schiava/Vernatsch - South Tyrol DOC 

Production area: 
The classic Kalterer red wine region is located on the sometimes rising altitudes between 215 and 315 m above sea level. On these deep limestone gravel soils, which the glacier has transported here, the local varieties for Lake Caldaro develop their highest potential, as does the international grape variety Cabernet Franc. The Mediterranean climate at the lake with lots of sun and the afternoon wind is particularly important for these varieties.
Some of the schiava vines are over 100 years old.

Vinification: 
Partly fermented in steel barrels, partly in French and local oak barrels with a few stems. After fermentation, the wine is stored in tonneaux for approx. 8 months. Sea is produced according to the guidelines of the Kalterersee-Charta. The Kalterersee Charter is a promise of quality to all wine lovers.

hearty appetizers, red meat and game.

Producer: 
Andi Sölva Estate 
The history of the estate begins in 2005, when Andi Sölva collects the legacy of his parents and takes over the reins of the family winery. Always devoted to a strong spirit of independence, in 2007 he began making his own winemaking, driven by the desire to enhance, in his own way, the uniqueness and variety of the lands that embrace Lake Caldaro. A strong passion that leads him to carefully follow each grape in its maturation process, in full respect of nature and its rhythms, without ever neglecting the main objective: quality. In fact, to give life to extraordinary wines, the grapes have always been picked only after reaching the ideal degree of ripeness. 

Andi Sölva's estate is a small structure in which many activities are carried out directly by the owner himself, from the care of the vines to careful manual selection. For this reason the production of bottles is limited.
