Vial · Pinot Bianco DOC 2022

"In this edition of 50,000 bottles, the Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Vial presents a classic expression of this excellent winemaking region in the far north of Italy. The wine represents an ideal match of grape variety and territory with a clear and exacting bouquet, followed by good dimension and firmness. The rather neutral personality of the aromas, with white peach, honey and pear, makes this wine ideal to serve with a delicate fish or crabmeat. Pretty notes of crushed white rock help to extend the mouthfeel, add momentum and conjure up visions of the Dolomite cliffs." - Robert Parker

"Rich radiant straw yellow. Subtle aromas of white flowers, tea leaves and fresh Williams pear. Refreshingly light-footed style with tangy acidity and straightforward structure, extends finely across the palate, unfussy, drinks very well." - Falstaff

"This cabernet shows playful creme de cassis notes with a background of herbal liqueur. There’s a real juiciness to the fruit and soft tannins, and even perhaps a hint of perceived sweetness. Not the most integrated of wines, then, but certainly a real crowd-pleaser. Drink now." - James Suckling

"Brilliant bright cherry red with delicate rim brightening. Aroma of fresh pepper, cloves and small ripe wild berries, tobacco in the background. Draws tightly over the palate and seems very dense, grippy, youthful tannins, good pressure and tension in the finish, should still be allowed to mature." - Falstaff

"Cantina Kaltern shows great focus on the Merlot grape with this set of new releases. Their Alto Adige Merlot Riserva Lasón, with 30,000 bottles released, is super soft, plush and velvety with lots of dark cherry, plum and dried peach. There is a sweet and supple side to the wine that overtakes the savory side that is normally shaped by the oak aging. That plump primary fruit underlines the fact that this is a very vintage-driven wine. Richness and softness are the two main takeaways here." - Robert Parker (Monika Larner)

"Intense bright ruby red with garnet accents. Rich aroma of ripe blueberries, rum pot, some lemon balm and nut nougat. Opulent palate entry, grippy, youthful tannin, full-bodied character." - Falstaff

Quintessenz · Weißburgunder DOC 2018

The color of Pinot Blanc Quintessence is a bright straw yellow with greenish light reflex. Multi-faceted bouquet of yellow &apples, honeydew melon, dried chamomile and some graphite. Harmonious on the palate with a salty finish, creamy texture and elegant aftertaste. - Gerardo [TS12/19]

"The Cantina Kaltern Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Quintessenz is part of this estate's top-shelf line of Alto Adige wines. Pinot Bianco is especially well suited to the white limestone soils, glacier fans and high altitudes of the Italian Dolomites (grapes for this wine are planted from 550 to 600 meters above sea level). This Pinot Bianco (aged in large oak casks for eight months) explores that infinity with special care and expertise, offering a very precise and elegant expression of this versatile white grape. Orchard fruit and Golden Delicious apple open the experience, and the wine moves carefully to embrace aromas of sage, salt, crushed stone and almond. This wine should hold and flesh out further, until the 10-year mark, if not longer." - Robert Parker
