Grape varierty: 
Pinot Noir - South Tyrol Alto IGT Weinberg Dolomiten. 

Production area: 
This Pinot Noir grows on the morainic soils of the glaciers from the last ice age, mixed with volcanic rocks composed of quartz porphyry very rich in minerals, mica schist and granite at a height of 500 m a.s.l. The airy hillside vineyard facing west and sun-drenched enables an optimal ripening of the grapes. 

Vinification: 
Selection of the smallest, best ripened grapes. 70% of the grapes are destemmed and, toghether with the remaining 30% of whole grapes with stems, fermented in 2000 liter French oak fermentation vat. Fermentation takes place spontaneously thanks to natural yeasts. After about three weeks of contact with the mash, with daily manual pushing down, the wine is gently pressed and clarified by natural sedimentation. Ageing takes place 75% in new oak barrels and 25% in used French oak barrels of 500 liters. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine matures on the fine lees for another 20 months. 

Food Pairing: 
A versatile food companion for special moments. Especially with roasted and grilled red meat, game and matured cheese.

16 °C. In order to develop its full potential, the wine needs time to breathe after opening.

Abraham Winery 
The family business Winery Abraham in St. Michael / Eppan was founded by Martin Abraham and Marlies Pohl Abraham with the aim of processing their own grapes into high-quality wines. Martin and Marlies Abraham are winemakers by conviction. They live their passion. They use the knowledge and creative power of their ancestors as the foundation of their actions today. Now it is their turn to carry this deep-rooted passion forward. THE FUTURE NEEDS A GENUINE. Working with nature means compromising. Again and again new areas of tension arise between acting and letting go. This tightrope walk is a daily challenge. When you inhale the scent of rain-soaked earth, you will become aware of the uniqueness and diversity of this terroir. In the west of the vineyards we find dolomite rock, limestone marl, red clay and sand from the debris cone of the Mendel Mountains. In the east, moraine soils from the last ice age are predominant, mixed with volcanic rock made of quartz porphyry with a very high mineral content.
