Pinot Blanc 'Quintessenz' by Kellerei Kaltern is a refined and elegant wine. It is part of the Kaltern high-end line, one of the most important and representative realities of the South Tyrolean territory. The vines have an average age of about 15 years and are grown in the St. Nikolaus area between 550 and 600 meters above sea level. It ages in wood for a period of about 10 months, before being bottled. Refinement of aromas, never excessive and exuberant, but always very harmonious and subtle. Perfect balance between fruit and freshness. The sip is soft and creamy, of great expressive harmony, with a fruit with refined tones and a balanced freshness. Pleasantly savory finish. Excellent accompaniment to fish dishes, white meats, risottos.
