The story
Founded in 1900 as a village cooperative, Cantina Kurtatsch has grown to bring together around 190 member families and to manage significant vineyard holdings in the Cortaccia area. Over time the winery has developed distinctive production lines and invested in hospitality facilities such as a panoramic wine shop and an underground ageing cellar.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to produce wines that clearly reflect their territory of origin, combining careful vineyard management, sustainable practices and winemaking focused on expressing individual UGA. It organizes its labels into ranges to highlight the cru and local grape varieties.
