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 2018
Satisfied with Quality and Quantity The 2018 wine harvest began early in Alto Adige, with lower elevations starting to pick as early as August 20. And toward the end of September, most of the grapes were already in the wineries – well matured and in reasonable numbers. With the white wines, Alto Adige’s winegrowers and winemakers are without exception very satisfied. With the red wines, 2018 will be a great year for Cabernet and Merlot, but also for Pinot Noir and Lagrein. (Südtirol Wein)
