Manincor Kalterersee Keil 2024: A charming red wine from South Tyrol
The Manincor Kalterersee der Keil 2024 is a sophisticated and elegant red wine that expresses the authenticity of the South Tyrolean territory in every sip. This biodynamic and vegan certified organic wine is made exclusively from Schiava grapes. Also known as Vernatsch, this grape variety is known for its bright ruby-red color and a distinct bouquet of cherries and toasted almonds, which appears fresh and juicy on the palate and has an elegant finish.
The Manincor Kalterersee Keil reflects the winery's deep connection to its homeland, its philosophy of respecting nature and biodiversity, and its commitment to sustainable cultivation methods. A true product of craftsmanship and tradition that conveys the essence of its origin with every sip.
An everyday red wine
Diversity and terroir: The Kalterersee Keil 2024, made from various varieties of the Vernatsch grape, is a red wine that embodies both simplicity and elegance. This wine comes from "der Keil," the South Tyrolean monopole site, which is located 250 meters above sea level and is characterized by calcareous, sandy loam soils, making it one of the warmest areas in South Tyrol. The warm microclimate and the southern exposure of this site offer ideal conditions for the ripening of the grapes.
Production and storage: The biodynamically grown grapes are hand-picked and fermented in open wooden vats, using the grapes' natural yeasts. After fermentation, the wine matures for five months on its fine lees in large oak barrels and undergoes malolactic fermentation, which contributes to the wine's complexity and texture.
Serving suggestion: This wine is ideal for immediate enjoyment, but can also be stored for two to three years. It pairs excellently with South Tyrolean speck, hearty pasta dishes, white meat, and even fried fish. A serving temperature of 12-14°C is recommended to bring out the full aromas of the wine.
Why this South Tyrolean wine promises pleasure for all the senses
- Sustainability as a principle: This red wine from the "Hand" wine line (in the sign of the hand that cultivates the soil, tends the vines, and picks the grapes: uncomplicated, classic, clear, and accessible wines) embodies Manincor's biodynamic philosophy, reflected in its vegan certification and the Respekt-BIODYN seal, a testament to harmony with nature.
-
