Curiosity
Back in the day, when the the vineyards was not close enough to the cellar, in order to transport the grapes in the wooden back carriers called "Zummen", the grapes had to be conveyed in casks and vats by wagons. For crushed grapes it was essential to transport them in sealable casks, called "Kastlet", since the terrain of the lower mountain slopes were steep and narrow. Our Cabernet grapes used to be transported in such casks and this is why we choose this antic name.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted or grilled meat, venison or piquant cheese.
Vintage 2014
Somewhat lower alcohol content and higher acidity, along with freshness and fruitiness, characterize the Alto Adige wines of the 2014 vintage. In particular, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon from medium and high altitudes have turned out well. Schiava wines are typical and invitingly drinkable, Pinot Noirs from higher altitudes are very promising, as is Lagrein in general. (Südtirol Wein)
