Description
A grape variety that is indigenous to the Alto Adige, this Schiava comes from the oldest Kurtatsch vineyards, growing between 300 and 400 metres above sea-level. These old vines produce naturally low yields of high quality grapes. As is typical of this grape, this 2020 is very pretty, glisteningly pale ruby. Aromas are incredibly enticing, fragrant and pure, with notes of strawberries and red cherries. This is a lively, light of touch wine with a freshness and clarity that speak of Alto Adige`s mountain air. It has vibrancy, excellent concentration and a silky, elegant finish. This will appeal greatly to lovers of Pinot Noir and fresh, lively styles of red wine.

Kellerei Kurtatsch
Kurtatsch is a beautiful village in the Alto Adige, where the vines are grown up to 900m, in spectacular karst landscape. The terrain is steep and dramatic, with a diverse range of soils, geology and microclimates. Kellerei Kurtatsch is one of Alto Adige’s smallest and oldest co-operative wineries, founded in 1900. They look after 190 hectares of vines, working with 190 growers. “We like terroir; we don’t like too much oak. These are elegant mountain wines,” says winemaker Othmar Doná. The fresh, pure, precise style of the Kurtatsch whites and reds have made them solid HH&C listings.
