KALKOFEN

Kalterersee
Classico Superiore
Vigna Arzenhof

PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES
Schiava is a Alto Adige variety that was long underrated to the point of being almost forgotten, just like the old limekiln after which the vineyard is named. Elegant power has enabled Kalkofen to rise phoenix-like from its ashes and cast a stylish spell over the world. The wine’s versatility and grace will tempt you to drop the pearl of your soul into a glass of this nectar.

VINIFICATION
