Castelfeder Mt. Magdalener Schallerhof 2021 750ml

Castelfeder Mt. Magdalener Schallerhof is a remarkable red wine that hails from a 3-hectare area in the wine village of St. Magdalena above Bolzano, lending its name to this exceptional wine. Cultivated on the sunny southern slopes in the north of South Tyrol's capital, this St. Magdalener is nurtured in sandy, loosely weathered soil, imparting distinctive qualities to its character. What further distinguishes this vineyard is the presence of a Tibetan-style tower built by the owner, adding a unique touch to the winemaking process. This wine is the product of meticulous care, with hand-picked grapes and destemming ensuring that only the best grapes are used. Following destemming, the wine undergoes maceration on the skins for 10-14 days in stainless steel tanks. Aged for six months on fine lees, it attains its full potential. In the glass, Castelfeder Mt. Magdalener Schallerhof presents itself with a ruby to garnet red color. Its bouquet is marked by a delightful floral scent of violets and subtle notes of almonds. On the palate, this wine offers a dry, full-bodied experience with a slight spiciness that adds depth and character. The pairing possibilities for this wine are diverse, ranging from soft and mild cheeses to cheddar, grilled vegetables, pork, lamb, venison, red meat, and charcuterie. The wine is versatile, elevating a variety of dishes to create a memorable dining experience. This 2021 vintage offers the opportunity to savor the unique terroir and craftsmanship of Alto Adige DOC.
