Description
Mazon, a high plateau on the cooler eastern side of the southern Adige Valley, is Italy’s most prestigious site for Pinot Noir. It is home to Barthenau Estate, built 150 years ago by Ludwig Barth von Barthenau and in the family’s care for many decades. The Vigna S. Urbano vineyard, with its clay-limestone soil, produces a Pinot Noir of exceptional elegance and depth. In 1987, this wine becomes Alto Adige’s first officially designated single-vineyard wine (Vigna).
Tasting Notes :
A superb Pinot Nero, whose concentration is clearly heralded by its dark ruby colour. The aroma reminiscent of sour cherry and raspberry is enhanced by a delicate hint of vanilla and spice. On the palate it shows excellent harmony with elegant acidity, well-integrated sweet tannins and enormous concentration of aromas.
