Kastèlt
Alto Adige Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva DOC 2021
- Tasting notes
Of an impressive deep dark colour; sweet currant, plum fruit and cassis burst to the nose; herbs, earth and liquorice aromas are nicely intermingled in this elegant, full-textured wine; subtle but savoury on the palate, supple and with ripe, sweet tannins.
Cellaring potential: 6 – 8 years.
- Food Combination
Roast beef with trimmings, lamb steaks glazed with balsamic vinegar and redcurrants, venison and game, mature cheeses. A wine for discerning oenophiles.

The wine refines in oak for 18 months, 2/3 in barriques and tonneaux, 1/3 of the total in 35 hl casks. After bottling the wine goes through a bottle aging 12 months before releasing.
