Bright, Crisp Whites

  Why it’s specialCastel Giovanelli is Cantina Kaltern’s most elegant white, made from high-altitude Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Alto Adige, northern Italy. Aged gracefully since 2007, it shows the poise and depth that only time and mountain fruit can create. This is not your typical Sauvignon Blanc, it’s layered, textural, and quietly powerful. Taste and textureAromas of white flowers, citrus, and jasmine give way to exotic fruit, herb, and a subtle touch of ginger. The palate is bold yet silky, with notes of citrus oil and spice that linger through a long, polished finish.

2021 FAR NIENTE ESTATE BOTTLED. VINEYARD NOTES Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards located in Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. Coombsville offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these spectacular vineyards results in the subtle, tropical flavors, complex aromas and uncommon richness that have long been associated with Far Niente Chardonnay. HARVEST NOTES The 2021 growing season began with very little rain for the second year in a row, and the dry and warm spring us early budbreak and bloom. The summer months were mild with few heat spikes, allowing the vines to slowly ripen and yield small but intensely flavored grapes. We began Chardonnay harvest at our earliest sites in late August and the continued moderate temperatures into the fall allowed us to slowly and steadily bring the balance of fruit in throughout the month of September, with our last pick just before the month’s end. The intensity of flavor observed in the vineyard continued in the winery and is reflected in the finished wine. TASTING NOTES Bright and lively, the 2021 vintage opens with aromas of lemon zest, kumquat, toasted almonds, hint of wet stone and flint, light fresh cut herbs.  This wine immediately enchants with a silky entry and vibrant flavors of grilled citrus, light green melon and toasted oak that expand across the mid palate all the way until the finish.
