Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 'Quintessenz' by Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern is a red wine of thickness, density and expressive depth. It is part of the Kaltern high-end line, one of the most important and representative realities of the South Tyrolean territory. Blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (95%) and Merlot (5%) grapes from a single vineyard. The must remains on the skins for about 4 weeks in oak barrels, followed by 18 months of aging. A Riserva with a layered bouquet: the wild fruit blends with cinnamon and noble wood, accents of tobacco, chocolate and licorice. Intensity and facet on the palate with powerful and soft tannins. Tobacco finish for this Cabernet of character. Wine with great charm and magnetic personality.
