    St. Michael Eppan Pinot Noir Classico 2020

    €23,95
    Pinot Noir is one of the most highly regarded and ambitious red wines. Pinot Noir does not adapt well to many conditions and poses challenges both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Thanks to its delicate aroma and distinctive character, it enjoys great prestige. This Pinot Noir develops its full potential in Eppan's cool but sunny vineyards, producing a full-bodied and elegant wine. The wine is garnet red in color. In the nose, it has aromas reminiscent of wild berries, raspberries and blackberries. On the palate, it is compact, elegant and shows fruity spiciness.
    The grapes grow at 400 to 550m altitude between Appiano and Caldaro, facing south, southeast and southwest. The terroir consists of moraine rubble and limestone gravel. Manual harvesting of the Pinot Nero takes place from mid to late September.Fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in large wood.
