RISERVA MAZON Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC 2019 – Hofstatter

Dense and deep ruby-garnet color, this great wine has typical characteristics of undergrowth fruits, sweet but well-structured marasca cherries, warm, harmonious, consistent, round, rich in nuances, solid and fine in the mouth
With time, it opens wide and velvety, almost caressing, with the soft
refinement of a wine of great caliber, so that it becomes even more structured after
a few years in the bottle.

This Pinot Noir was born in our vineyards on the Mazon plateau where the Pinot Nero variety was successfully introduced
in South Tyrol at the beginning of the 19th century. It was quickly confirmed that the gentle slopes and microclimate of the Mazon plateau offered ideal conditions to develop a great wine of international stature

Vinification and maturation.
75% of the grapes are separated from the stalks (branches), while 25% are poured intact into barrels. Fermentation lasts about 10 days, the must being always in direct contact with the skins. After two careful rackings, this wine matures for one year in small oak barrels, then six months in large oak barrels and finally one year in bottle.
