Lago di Caldaro

Lago di Caldaro was the first DOC title in the region Trentino-Alto Adige. The wines produced in the area are based on Schiava – native grape variety that naturally produces light red wines. The label also includes Classico subzone which is limited to the communes of Caldaro, Appiano, Termeno, Cortaccia, Vadena, Egna, Montagna, Ora, and Bronzolo, as well as sweet Scelto (Auslese) wines. Lago di Caldaro are light and delicate red wines, with subtle tannins and typical fruit aromas of cherries and red berries.

They are usually light to medium-bodied and might display slightly bitter almond finish. The wines work well with light main courses, pasta dishes, and appetizers, especially local cold cuts and mild cheese varieties.
