What wine is Alto Adige Pinot Nero DOC “Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano” 2019 - Hofstätter
The Alto Adige Pinot Nero DOC “Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano” 2019 - Hofstätter is one of the most representative wines of Alto Adige viticulture. It originates in the heart of Mazon, one of Italy's most suitable areas for cultivating Pinot Noir, thanks to its alpine microclimate and clay-limestone soils which impart elegance and depth to the grapes. It is a red wine of great personality, capable of encapsulating the essence of its territory with a balanced and refined profile.Vintage Details
2019 was a vintage of excellent balance in Alto Adige. Moderate temperatures and good temperature fluctuations between day and night favored a slow and complete maturation of the Pinot Noir grapes. This resulted in elegant aromatic concentration and perfect harmony between freshness and structure, characteristics that make this wine particularly long-lived and complex over time.Winemaking and Aging
The grapes for Alto Adige Pinot Nero DOC “Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano” 2019 - Hofstätter are hand-picked and carefully selected.
