<br /><br />Cabernet Franc has been cultivated in Kurtatsch since the founding years of the winery in 1900, thanks to the southern location and favourable exposure of the area.

On the palate, the wine is fresh and precise:<br />vibrant acidity and exceptionally smooth tannins lend tension and drinkability, making VENTIS already expressive yet approachable in its youth.

<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

PIPA<br />PIPA is the exotic wine in our range. PIPA is a fortified wine - vino liquoroso, inspired by port wine. This first South Tyrolean 'port' is vinified from Lagrein grapes and is a<br />long-lasting and complex dessert wine produced along the lines of a vintage Ruby. The name 'PIPA' comes from the typical oak barrels in which the port wine is stored in<br />Portugal. 'After a trip to the Douro Valley in Portugal, I wanted to try my hand at making a port wine myself: I wanted to capture and preserve the typical cherry notes of the<br />Lagrein during fermentation. After several experiments, I was able to refine and perfect the process.' FranzGojer<br /><br />Site: Auer: Stony alluvial soil of the Etsch river. The warm porphyry is ideal for the grape variety. Guyot cultivation with 5,000 vines per hectare.<br /><br />Vinification: Hand harvest and gentle processing. Cold maceration and fermentation in open oak vats with light toasting. Intensive extraction by continuous immersion of the<br />marc cap in the must. Addition of brandy to the fermenting must to kill the yeasts and stop fermentation. Ageing in PIPA oak barrels for 6 months. Bottling and ageing in<br />bottle.<br /><br />Sensory characteristics: Intense garnet red with violet nuances. Smells wonderfully and intensely of fully ripe cherries and wild berries, Full-bodied and fine in the mouth.<br />The strong tannin and the juicy acidity act as an ideal counterpart to the sweetness and thus form a complex taste picture. The long, fruity finish flatters the palate. Suitable<br />for chocolate desserts of all kinds, the more intense and noble the chocolate, the better the combination.<br />
