Schreckbichl Kalterersee Auslese classic
The Kalterersee Auslese klassisch from Kellerei Schreckbichl appears bright in the glass and is uncomplicated to drink – a red wine for a casual table. The term "Auslese" here refers to the traditional quality level of the growing region, not to residual sugar.
Kellerei Schreckbichl, better known as Colterenzio, is located in Girlan near Kaltern in South Tyrol, directly above the eponymous Lake Kaltern. The vines grow on calcareous, mineral soils at the edge of the Überetsch – a landscape that has offered good conditions for Vernatsch, the lead grape variety of Lake Kaltern, for centuries.
In the glass, aromas of sour cherry and wild strawberry dominate, underscored by the typical light bitter almond note on the finish that makes Vernatsch unmistakable. The tannins are fine, the acidity fresh, the body lean – a wine without any rough edges.
It tastes best slightly chilled at 14 to 16 °C, with South Tyrolean speck, Schlutzkrapfen, or simply with a snack platter outdoors.

The Winery
Kellerei Schreckbichl has stood for South Tyrolean winemaking art since 1960. Back then, 26 winegrowers joined forces to be more independent and to be able to manage their vineyards even better together. Over the decades, this idea has become a success story: today, the cooperative has around 300 members who together cultivate about 300 hectares of vineyards – between 230 and 650 meters above sea level, in one of the best locations in South Tyrol.
Tradition and modernity go hand in hand here: careful manual labor in the vineyard, natural cultivation, and state-of-the-art cellar technology complement each other to create a business that not only preaches responsibility but lives it – for example with its own photovoltaics and heat recovery in the cellar. These high altitudes between Alpine air and Mediterranean warmth give the grapes exactly the freshness and ripeness that makes South Tyrolean wines so special.
The range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer as well as Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the local Vernatsch – authentic wines with a clear regional expression. Schreckbichl is therefore much more than a cooperative: it is an association with an attitude that shows how community and quality can strengthen each other.
