Brut Blanc de Blanc Extra Brut 2019 - 13% vol. Cortaccia Winery

Description: 
In the glass it presents itself with a fine and persistent perlage. Fruity nuances of white peach and yellow tropical fruit, some quince, spicy bread and brioche. Creamy yet firm texture, mineral and saline in the aftertaste. 600 BLANC DE BLANCS: the sparkling wine that admits of no compromise.

Kurtatsch Winery 
Vineyards 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.
