Pinot Nero Colterenzio 2024
The Pinot Noir from Colterenzio is a light, delicate, and refreshing red wine, of excellent craftsmanship and great balance. It has a fresh and pleasant bouquet of cherries and small red fruits and a slender, easy-drinking, satisfying, and fruity taste.
The Pinot Nero from Colterenzio is a young, fresh, and fragrant wine that expresses all the refined elegance of the noble Burgundy grape, marked by expressive immediacy and pleasant taste. The brief aging in wood and cement aims to enhance the varietal aspects of grapes with a delicately fruity profile. Pinot Nero has been present for centuries in Alto Adige, where it has found a true second home thanks to suitable soils and ideal climatic conditions for such a demanding and difficult variety to cultivate.
The Pinot Nero wine is produced with grapes coming from the areas of Cornaiano and Colterenzio. The vineyards are cultivated at an altitude between 400 and 500 meters above sea level, on west-facing slopes, characterized by clayey soils rich in morainic deposits of gravel and decomposed porphyry skeleton. This includes partly old vines still trained in Trentino pergola and partly more recent trellis systems, with an average yield of about 50 hectoliters per hectare. Fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature of 25 °C. The wine then rests for about 6 months in cement tanks and large oak barrels, before being blended and bottled.
This is a Pinot Nero that well expresses the varietal finesse of this noble grape, with fresh and delicate aromas, prioritizing drinkability over structure and concentration. A pleasant and simple interpretation, appreciated for its versatility at the table. It presents itself with a bright ruby red color. The bouquet expresses fragrant aromas of small berries, with a delicately floral background. The sip is pleasantly fresh, dynamic, and smooth, with ripe and still crunchy fruit, fine tannins, and a good final persistence.
