<p>:The Sonntaler Grauvernatsch grows on Kurtatsch’s oldest vines, which by nature produce a low, but very high-quality harvest. The aroma bouquet is intense and multifaceted, reminiscent of the first fruits of summer: sweet cherries, wild strawberries and red currants. Its elegant, lean body grips the palate. Grainy tannins lend this unctuous Grauvernatsch, which is highly characteristic of the variety, a long and fruity finish.Grape variety:Schiava – South Tyrol DOCProduction area:First hillside site in KurtatschVinification:Temperature-constrained fermenting of the must in stainless-steel tanks, with regular inundation of the cake pomace with must; organic malolactic fermentation and maturation in large wooden barrels.Food pairing:Serving temperature:12 – 14°C.Ageing potential:more than 3 years.Bottle to:750 ml – 75 cl – 0,75 lt.Allergens:wine can contain sulphites.Producer:Kurtatsch WineryVineyards on breathtakingly steep slopes from 220-900m a.s.l. – such a large difference in altitude within one municipality is unique in Europe. The low elevations are among the warmest in Alto Adige and are perfect for important red wines. On the high-altitude sites above the main village of Kurtatsch, the white varieties find ideal conditions. The wide array of elevations and soil types dictates the philosophy of the province’s southernmost cooperative: to produce distinctive wines that reflect their growing site, their terroir, in the best way possible.A young team, since 2014 led by the winery’s president, Andreas Kofler, has oriented the winery towards sustainable management. Thanks to the 190 small-structured family farms that cultivate 190 hectares of vineyards, the best grape material for each individual location can be selected. This and the precise vinification of the individual vineyard sites create distinctive and unmistakable wines which truly reflect their place of origin. The result: fresh, mineral white wines from high locations and long-lasting red wines from warm locations.Cantina KurtatschStrada del Vino 23IT – 39040 – Cortaccia (BZ) Alte Reben Sonntaler 2021 – 13% vol.
