It was Archduke John of Austria who introduced Cabernet to Alto Adige, although it needs rather high temperatures to ripen properly. Dark garnet red color, intense aromas of red currant and herbaceous notes on the nose. On the palate it is structured edotato of soft tannins.
The name of the Rottensteiner family originates from the red stone typical of the South Tyrolean region, porphyry. It’s here that Hans Rottensteiner 50 years ago fulfilled the dream of producing his wine. The winery was born in 1956 and since then has become a family affair, from generation to generation, continuing until today to use the fruits of the 10 hectares of family vineyards, and the grapes of over 60 farmers in the area. An authentic and passionate production, which takes into account the typical features of the individual varieties, in particular those typical of the Bolzano area such as Lagrein and Santa Maddalena.
Rottensteiner’s Cabernet Riserva is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. After fermentation in steel at controlled temperatures of 25 ° C, it matures in oak barrels for 15 months, acquiring the aromas that distinguish it from a varietal point of view. It goes perfectly with game and spicy cheeses.
