Moscato Rosa Cantina di Caldaro Kaltern 2025

The Moscato Rosa from Cantina di Caldaro – Kellerei Kaltern is a slightly sweet rosé wine that captures attention with its fragrant aromatic hints. Moscato Rosa, known as "Rosenmuskateller" in South Tyrol, is a variety belonging to the vast family of Moscato, whose origin is shrouded in mystery. Many scholars hypothesize that this grape arrived in the West from the East, brought by a spice merchant. What is certain is that Moscato Rosa has been cultivated in South Tyrol, specifically in the Caldaro area, since the 19th century. Regarding the adjective "rosa", it seems to derive not so much from the color of the grapes, which are rather bluish-violet, but from the characteristic scents of rose petals expressed by the wine.

Kellerei Kaltern – Cantina di Caldaro Moscato Rosa is a pure expression of the eponymous aromatic grape variety from vines that are partly over 20 years old. Following the harvest, the bunches are brought to the winery, where alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with about one week of skin maceration. The wine remains in stainless steel,aged on the fine lees for 4 months, after which it is bottled with a residual sugar of 35 g/l.

The Moscato Rosa Rosenmuskateller from Cantina di Caldaro – Kellerei Kaltern has a bright cherry red color. From the glass, fragrant aromatic hints of lychee, rose petals, and citrus emerge, combined with notes of pink pepper. The taste is harmonious, in excellent balance between the moderate sweetness and pleasant freshness, with the characteristic floral finish of the grape variety. Despite the not excessive residual sugar, this Moscato Rosa pairs wonderfully with traditional South Tyrolean desserts, such as strudel or krapfen.
