After being hand-picked, the grapes are carefully placed in small vats and transported to the winery. During the vinification of this wine, 10% of the grapes are vinified as whole bunches, which creates a more complex flavor. The must is gravity-fed into steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place for 20 to 24 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barriques and small wooden barrels, followed by 8 months in large wooden barrels. This aging in wooden barrels gives the wine its characteristic complexity and structure. Finally, the wine is bottled for another 8 months to further develop and refine its aromas and flavors.
The Girlan Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva is a seductive wine with a ruby red color and light notes of grenadine that sparkle in the glass. On the nose, the intense aromas emerge and you are greeted by a complex bouquet of ripe fruit and cherries. This is interwoven with subtle hints of spice and oak. The taste confirms the elegance of this wine, with a delicate flavor supported by excellent tannins and persistence. The palate is a beautiful blend of ripe red fruits, such as berries and cherries, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice. This wine is a good choice for lovers of complex and refined wines.
