Merlot Cabernet DOC Riserva Cortazo Pfitscher

Caressed by the sun, the Cortaccia vineyard is located on the western side of the Bassa Atesina. Impossible to find a better location for heat-loving wines. Brenntal is one of those names that leaves no room for interpretation: it literally means Valley that burns and is located in the southern part of South Tyrol, north of Cortaccia. The region's best Merlots and Cabernets are known to come from here and this Cortazo (the name is now clear to us) comes from here. The steep vineyard enjoys maximum daytime heat and the alpine night wind with good temperature variations and the grapes of this Merlot are fermented and then aged in wood, where they rest for a year.

Processing method

Fermentation at controlled temperature and constant fulling of the marc for 14 days in special barrels
