Beschreibung
Pinot Nero Glen Cantina di Cortaccia: color dark ruby-red, temperature-controlled fermentation in new French oak casks, malolactic fermentation in the large wooden cask storage in 30 hl wooden casks.
The first Pinot Noir vines were introduced from Burgundy and were planted in South Tyrol 150 years ago. Through the encouragement and support of Edmund Mach, the founder of modern Alto Adige oenology, the fastidious Pinot Noir has turned out to be the perfect grape variety for cool Alpine islands of microclimate. With the alternation of Mediterranean warming by day and cool nights, the flavors intensify on the gravelly, well ventilated soils of Montan without forfeiting that characteristic “Burgundian” finesse. The Pinot Nero Riserva has a fine, fresh perfume, characterized by an elegant sweetness that is reminiscent of mallow. On the palate, it has a velvety, extremely berry-like effect like a French Burgundy, and tones of fresh raspberries and wild cherries give the subtle fruit sweetness a succinct, finely-spiced structure.
Aging potential: 6-8 years.
Alcoholic content 14,0 %.
