This wine, vinified in steel and matured in large barrels, displays a brilliant golden yellow colour and a bouquet of lychee, yellow-fleshed peach, Reinette apple and elderflower. On the palate, it reveals a compact and balanced structure, supported by pronounced acidity and a distinct mineral character, leading to an intriguing smoky finish with empyreumatic notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the steep slopes of the Brenntal area in Cortaccia. The vines grow on deep red clay soils, arranged along terraced hillsides supported by ancient dry-stone walls. The rocky matrix of the soil unmistakably defines the wine's savoury character. The area enjoys a very warm microclimate, essential for promoting the aromatic ripening of the grapes while ensuring lively acidic tension. Kurtatsch enhances these plots to achieve a structured profile capable of evolving magnificently over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with a few hours of cold maceration of the must, aimed at precisely extracting the aromatic profile. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks to preserve varietal purity. The wine gains depth through prolonged ageing on fine lees, conducted for twelve months in steel and a further six months in large wooden barrels. A final period of rest defines its elegant flavour profile, capable of combining expressive energy and profound complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Cortaccia by the Kurtatsch Winery, a historic cooperative founded in 1900, the Brenntal Gewürztraminer Riserva celebrates the fame of the Traminer grape, renowned since the 13th century.
