Theme: “Character over generations”
The 2023 vintage of kunst.stück was vinified with the Vernatsch (Schiava) grape variety. Vernatsch (Schiava in Italian) is an indigenous grape variety from Alto Adige that has played an important role in Kaltern since the beginning of viticulture and has developed over many generations. The grapes for this wine originate from two vineyards: a historic vineyard on traditionl Pergola, which is over 100 years old, and a young vineyard on Guyot, which is 15 years old. This combination of tradition and innovation, which has grown over many generations, is intended to reflect the timeless character and the development of Vernatsch.
Because of these reason the theme of the contest it is: “Character over generations”!
Art competition
For the winning artist, the design and creation of an art label constitutes an opportunity for recognition and prestige, as well as an introduction to an extensive and heterogeneous public.
