Descrizione

The Cabernet Riserva Alto Adige DOC Kirchhugel from Cantina Cortaccia expresses with refined elegance the unique character of the Alto Adige terroir, a region renowned for the cultivation of international grape varieties in cool and windy climatic conditions. This wine is made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown on mineral-rich soils that impart complexity and structure. The prolonged aging in wood, typically barrique, enriches the wine with enveloping notes of vanilla and spices, giving it depth and sensitivity on the palate.

On the nose, it presents intense aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate herbal hints and a slight balsamic scent. On the palate, it shows soft and well-integrated tannins, balanced by a vibrant freshness that enhances its persistence. Ideal with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Cabernet Riserva represents a happy expression of the Alto Adige DOC denomination, capable of combining elegance and power.
