Lago di Caldaro DOC
[LAH-goh dee kahl-DAH-roh]

DOC zone within the larger ALTO ADIGE DOC in northeast Italy's TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE region. Although located in northern Italy, German is commonly spoken here, and this area is also called Kalterersee. The Lago di Caldaro DOC encompasses an area around Lake Caldaro and extends down into northern Trentino. The vineyards right around the lake are also considered a subzone of the alto adige doc, and wines made from grapes grown there may be labeled "Alto Adige Lago di Caldaro DOC." The area produces light, red wines consisting of at least 85 percent of SCHIAVA, along with small portions of Pinot Nero (PINOT NOIR) and LAGREIN.
