Cantina Kurtatsch

Alpine precision in Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Merlot from Trentino-Alto Adige.

Cantina Kurtatsch works the alpine slopes of Trentino-Alto Adige, where cool nights and mineral-rich soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's Riserva bottlings—Freienfeld Cabernet Sauvignon, Freienfeld Chardonnay, and Brenntal Merlot—demonstrate the region's capacity for structured reds and complex whites. Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship varietal, achieves ripeness without heaviness in this northern climate, its tannins refined by altitude. The Chardonnay shows the textural complexity that cool-climate viticulture can extract from the variety. Merlot, too, gains freshness and definition from the mountain terroir. These wines have drawn attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, and Decanter, reflecting their technical accomplishment across the portfolio.
