Pinot Noir Riserva 2019 - 14% vol. Brunnenhof Winery BIO

Description: 
A nose of strawberries, raspberries, plumbs and cherries. On the palate its full strength unfolds, full-bodied and velvety with a pleasant tannic note and fine, distinctive aroma. 

Grape variety: 
Pinot Noir - South Tyrol DOC 

Production area: 
The grapes for the Pinot Nero Riserva grow in Mazzon at 400 meteres above sea level. The sandy clay soil, the afternoon sun and the wind from Lake Garda provide the perfect conditions for the vines. Blauburgunder, which characterizes the area, has been grown in Mazzon for 100 years. 

Vinification: 
The hand-selected grapes are left to macerate in a large wooden barrel for two weeks. A regular manual punching down of the trester head leads to an optimal extraction of colour and aroma. This is followed by the biological acid reduction, the wine is stored for a year in a 500-litre oak barrel and then for a further eight to ten months in a big oak barrel. The bottled wine rests for a year in the cellar before being sold. 

Food pairing: 
Ideal with grilled or roasted meat, game or with grilled fish. The perfect accompaniment to mature cheese. 

Serving temperature: 
16 - 18°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 10 years. 

Bottle to: 
750 ml - 75 cl - 0,75 lt.

Five hectares, respect for nature, and no hocus pocus. The philosophy of an estate winery cannot be described more briefly – or more accurately – than Kurt Rottensteiner does for his Brunnenhof in Egna. A philosophy that is also supported by the fact that the Brunnenhof is situated in Mazzon, one of Alto Adige’s best Pinot Noir areas. Nature has therefore meant well for the vineyards of the Brunnenhof in Egna-Mazzon, for which the Rottensteiner family is grateful: since 2011, they have been running their estate winery according to ecological guidelines, and it is organic certified. That holds true without making sacrifices for all of the locations and varieties at the Brunnenhof. Manzoni Bianco grapes have been thriving on the scree cone of the Rio Trodena and, since 1921, Lagrein vines! Added to these are Gewürztraminer, and Yellow Muscat, but above all else Pinot Noir. “The sandy loam soils, the wind exposure, the midday sun, the Ora wind from Lake Garda, and the cool nights.
