Meczan Blauburgunder Pinot Nero Südtiroler DOC 2018 - J. Hofstätter
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
J. Hofstätter's Meczan Pinot Nero Blauburgunder Alto Adige DOC has a vivid ruby red colour with light garnet tones in the glass and a distinctly fresh, fruity bouquet with seductive notes reminiscent of wild berries, blackcurrant and cherry on the nose. On the palate this very typical Pinot Noir from South Tyrol presents itself wonderfully harmonious, round and very juicy, with soft, beautifully integrated, velvety tannins and intensive fruit notes. The long finish is particularly pleasing with elegance and fruitiness and a hint of dark chocolate in the background.
Vinification of the Meczan Pinot Nero Alto Adige Tyrol by J.Hofstätter
The grapes for this South Tyrolean red wine grow in soils consisting of a conglomerate of clay, lime and porphyry, typical of the Dolomite region. After harvesting, 75 % of the grapes are destemmed, 25 % are taken as whole grapes with stems to the fermentation tank, where they remain for about 10 days. During this time, the must is kept in constant contact with the grape skins. The wine then matures in egg-shaped concrete tanks.
Food recommendation for the Meczan Pinot Nero Alto Adige by J.Hofstätter
Enjoy this excellent and very typical Northern Italian Pinot Nero with traditional South Tyrolean cuisine, with hearty barley soup, but also with fine poultry, pasta dishes with meat ragout and roasts.
