2022 Lagrein, Kellerei Kurtatsch, Alto Adige

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.
