Pinot Noir 2012 ROCCOLO...
LUDWIG BARTH VON BARTHENAU<br />Vigna Roccolo<br />A Pinot Noir whose dark ruby-red colour already hints at its enormous concentration. In the glass, it soon reveals its aromatic depth: multi-faceted aromas of sour cherries<br />and cranberries, accompanied by delicate vanilla tones and fine oak. On the palate, it is very elegant and convinces with its precise acidity, velvety tannins and an<br />impressively long finish.The Vigna Roccolo is, together with the Vigna S. Urbano, another small parcel and valuable cru of our vineyards in the Mazon site. In this heart of<br />Mazon, there was already a Burgundy vineyard at the time of the vineyard's previous owner, Ludwig Barth von Barthenau, which stood next to a 'Roccolo', a historic bird-<br />catching site. This Pinot Noir reflects the enormous potential of this unique site, where vines grow that are 70 years old.Only the classification 'Vigna' guarantees the origin<br />of a site wine in South Tyrol.<br />HOFSTÄTTER CLASSIFICATION: Site wine<br />GRAPE VARIETY: Pinot Noir<br />SOIL: Conglomerate of clay, limestone and porphyry soils.<br />VINIFICATIONAND RIPENESS: After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and the individual berries are selected once again on a table in additional manual work.<br />After a short, cool maceration to refine the fruit bouquet, the wine ferments for about 10 days at a constant temperature of 28°C.The maturation extends over three different<br />phases: in the first phase the wine is aged for about 12 months in small oak barrels, then after the assemblage it matures for about another 6 months in large oak barrels<br />and after bottling it is stored for another 12 months in the cellars of the Ansitz Barthenau.<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE: 14° -16° C<br />Serving Suggestions: red meats, game, mild cheeses.<br />
