Borgo dei Posseri was founded by Martin Mainetti in 2000. This young and ultra-modern winery is situated between the Adige River and the Dolomites. It has quickly grown to over 225 hectares of vineyards, spread across twenty hectares. All vineyards are located in unique micro-terroirs, where the mountains have a particularly positive influence on the style of the wines.
The Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Nero Paradis in Borgo dei Posseri is grown in vineyards in the three villages of Pozzo, situated on a spur between the Ronchi and San Valentino valleys, on the left bank of the Adige River. It is produced exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, which are harvested by hand in mid-October. Fermentation takes place on the skins for two weeks. The wine is then aged for twelve months in barriques and then once more in bottle before being released.
Pinot Noir is a very difficult grape to grow, so only a few regions are suitable for producing a good Pinot Noir. Besides the well-known Burgundy, Pinot Noir wines are increasingly being produced in other regions. This Pinot Noir from Borgo dei Posseri in the Dolomites of northern Italy is a beautiful example of a wonderfully juicy Pinot Noir with plenty of character.
The Paradis is a light red in the glass, and the aroma reveals a wealth of red berry fruit with hints of cedar and balsamic. It is very complex and powerful. The palate is incredibly juicy, elegant, vibrant, and slightly spicy at the finish. This Borgo dei Posseri Paradis is refined, elegant, and balanced, with characteristic Pinot Grigio traits. It's perfect with meat-based antipasti, but also pairs well with vegetarian plaice, for example.
