The Pinot Nero grape is becoming increasingly popular in the Alto Adige wine region. This isn't surprising, as enthusiasts worldwide are seeking fine Pinot Nero. This grape is perfectly suited here, thanks to its abundance of higher-altitude vineyards. Coolness is crucial here. This red wine is a blend of two vineyards: one high-altitude vineyard, at an impressive 800 to 850 meters, for freshness, and another at 400 to 550 meters, for added power and structure. The high-altitude vineyard, in Kurtatsch, has a high lime content, which contributes to the wine's acidity. A smart choice, as it results in a wine with greater complexity.
After maceration in stainless steel tanks, biological acid decomposition and eight months of maturation in large and small wooden barrels take place, giving it a beautiful complexity and depth, without too much woody aroma.
The color is fantastic, deep red with an orange glow. The aroma is truly something to savor for hours: red fruit, light spices, and a touch of vanilla. But really, too much to list. The richness carries through to the flavor when enjoyed at the right temperature, around 16 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit). Then it has lovely fruity notes of cherry and berry, but also a touch of cedar, pepper, and nutmeg.
