The grapes destined for the production of the Cortazo grow in the vineyard “Brenntal” in Cortaccia, known as one of the warmest areas in Alto Adige. A powerful, complex wine with fine tannins, somewhere between ruby-red and violet in colour. The nose has slight nuances of violets and forest berries. Full-bodied on the palate with a velvety finish.
