The Brenntal vineyard is located in the north of the village of Kurtatsch and is one of the warmest sites (up to 40° C) in South Tyrol. The vines of the steep slope with intense sunlight stand on red, sandy loam soil.
In the evening, the fleshy grapes are cooled by refreshing fall winds. This unique terroir produces a Merlot that captivates with its power and dark berry fruit (cranberries, blackberries), but at the same time retains its alpine character (green tea, white pepper). The fruit on the palate is joined by a dense, velvety tannin. The delicate acidity gives the wine its precise balance with an impressively long finish.
