Origin

Pinot Nero or Pinot Noir has internationally many different names. In Germany, this grape is known as Spätburgunder, for example, in France known as Pinot Noir and the one in Italy as Pinot Nero.

Vintage

The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.

Tasting notes

– dense cherry red
– cherry and raspberry, with hints of rose-hip tea
– first impressions on palate are voluminous and soft, with a silky smooth finish

Recommendation

This wine pairs perfectly with heavier meat courses, game and piquant hard cheeses.

Vinification

Fermentation on the skins at 23 °C with a eight days extended maceration, malolactic and a 4-month ageing in big wooden barrels and large casks.

Vineyard

East-facing, sloping vineyards located at 450 – 550 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky gravel with a small proportion of sand.
