Our Zero alcohol range wines
How do we reach 0.0%? With low pressure osmosis we completely eliminate the alcohol without changing the fruit flavors and other elements in the wine.
In this process, wine is pumped at a very low pressure past a semi-permeable membrane. The wine is separated into two streams, the permeate being small molecules (water, ethanol), and the retentate being the higher molecular weight components of the wine. This means that most of the elements of wine like tannins and the components responsible for pigment, flavor and aroma, are left behind.
The use of low pressure osmosis allows us to adjust our alcohol to maximize flavor, or to remove undesirable components. This allows to produce better quality and increase our brand value.
No chemicals, colouring agents, preservatives or additional flavourings. We bring to people’s tables what the earth give us.
Non-alcoholic red wine contains an equivalent level of polyphenols to alcoholic red wine. Polyphenols are antioxidants that reduce blood pressure and prevent against cancerous, inflammatory and neurodegenerative illnesses.
Our Low alcohol range wines
We simply reduce the alcohol content on a natural way. The solution to offering excellent low-alcohol wines is to start with wines of the highest quality.
Our red still 5.5 % wine: The oldest mention of the cultivation of Teroldego grapes in the province of Trento (northern Italy) dates back to 1480 and in this region it is still the most important black grape variety. The wine obtained from it, is intense and sumptuous, with great elegance and an excellent propensity for ageing.
Our white still 5.5% wine: Müller-Thurgau is a cross between white grape varieties that dates back to 1882. In Ato-Adige (northern Italy) it is mainly cultivated in the Val di Cembra, where, in the shelter of mountains and forests, its characteristics of understated elegance have found a natural cradle. The limestone soils, altitude and wide temperature range of this valley favour the development of aromas and freshness, and give to the Müller-Thurgau wine a sweet peach aromas with low acidity and a range of fruity flavours.
Our sparkling 5.5 wines: These are a blend of Pinot Grigio and Suvignon with Traminer.
We give you two different options, and each one has created a remarkably different style of beverage: Calteno Classicoand Calteno.
