Alto Adige Pinot Nero Flowers Riserva 2019 - Von Blumen

The Pinot Noir grape variety is considered among the most noble red grape varieties in the world and also the most difficult to interpret. The origin of this vine is believed to be attributed to the French region of Burgundy. Flowers is the name chosen by the winery to represent the spearheads of the Von Blumen project. Harvested in September, the grapes are then partially de-stemmed and crushed, and left to ferment with maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, for about 20 days. Subsequently, before bottling, it is aged for 12 months in French oak tonneaux. In the glass the color is a bright ruby red. The bouquet is intense and broad on the nose, ranging from sweet nuances of red and black fruits to fragrant spicy scents. On the palate it is enveloping and complex, with a mature and long-lasting tannic texture in the mouth. A wine of exceptional drinkability and character, excellent in combination with red meat dishes, medium and long-aged cheeses and traditional main courses of South Tyrolean cuisine.
