Casteller

Wine · PDO · 42 municipalities

Established in 1976, the Casteller DOC operates across 42 municipalities in Trentino-Alto Adige, including Ala and Albiano. While neighboring Trentino appellations frequently market complex portfolios of whites, rosés, and aged riservas, Casteller distinguishes itself by permitting only a single, straightforward red wine style. This dry, ruby-red blend requires a minimum of 50% Merlot, balanced with local varieties like Schiava and Teroldego. Regulated to a maximum yield of 15.0 tonnes per hectare, the wine bypasses mandatory wood aging entirely, reaching consumer shelves with a minimum total alcohol content of 11.00% volume to deliver its characteristic harmonious profile.
