Elena Walch Pinot Nero 2021

PIONEERING WINEMAKING IN THE ITALIAN ALTO ADIGO REGION, ELENA WALCH MAKES A HIGHLY INTRIGUING AND ULTIMATELY DELICIOUS TAKE ON PINOT NOIR

 

"Our Pinot Nero Elena Walch shines in clear, fresh ruby red. A fruity play of aromas of red berries, cherries and raspberries as well as spicy notes with some white pepper characterizes the bouquet. In the mouth, the wine convinces with juicy structure and inviting freshness, with soft, velvety tannins, discreet spices in the background and a youthful, elegant finish.

Traditional temperature controlled fermentation for about 10 days in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, malolactic fermentation and maturation take place partially in large French and Slovenian oak barrels of 22hl and stainless steel tanks.

A deliberate combination of vineyards in warmer locations around the 400m blended with material from altitudes of up to 600m. Limestone and porphyry soils in south-eastern and south-western orientation. Severe selection employed." - Elena Walch
