Winemaker Notes
This Pinot Grigio gets fine mineral-rich spice that sometimes takes on a fiery varietal perfume of gooseberries, linden flowers, and acacia blossoms from the lime-rich soils of the fantastically steep slopes of Kurtatsch-Penon. The blending of mountain and valley grapes creates an extraordinary Pinot Grigio, with the total class and creamy suppleness of the south and the seriousness on the palate of the north.
Recommended pairings: With mushrooms, poached fish, shellfish, fish soups; also drunk as an aperitif.

Enthusiast
Freienfeld, an Ansitz manor that was built in the village center in 1521, was the headquarters of the winery from 1900, when it was founded, up until 1923. Because the winery quickly outgrew the space, the current winery structure was built along the Wine Road. Today the cellars of the Ansitz are used for storing barriques and the wine archive; they are also a venue for exclusive tastings.
The Kurtatsch vineyards, which are located between 220 and 900 meters in altitude, are unique in South Tyrol. The majority are located on steep slopes – whether at Brenntal, one of South Tyrol’s hottest sites, or in the district of Graun, at 900 meters. The soil composition of the municipal territory is exceptionally complex. The different grape varieties find optimal growing conditions through the varying exposures of the terrain. Every wine is characterized by its terroir – a term that incorporates all of the climatic, geological and geographical characteristics. Land by land. Wine by wine.
