The huge Trento-based co-operative CaVit bottled its Alto Adige wines under the Von Kastel (now Wachturm) label. Winemaking in Trentino A.A. is vastly co-op based, keeping the prices very affordable.

12% ABV

Golden. Slightly shy on the nose at first, some nice vegetal notes (sage leaves) but lacking a bit on the fruit side, which grows over time though. Oily, fullish mouthfeel. Some acidity hits at the start but quickly sets back. Lime essential oil, green honeydew melon, kiwi, lichee, mint and hints of cold roasted poultry meat and fresh green peppers towards the simple but fairly tongue-coating finish. A ridiculously priced white coming from the places where gewürztraminer was born.
