Mason - the sensitive companion.<br /><br />It nestles silkily against the skin, cherries, blackberries and roses linger for a long time, and the coveted Pinot Noir makes the mind sensual at the right time.<br /><br />Grape variety: Pinot Noir.<br />Colour: bright, rich ruby red.<br />Aroma and taste: Raspberries and cranberry fruit, some rose petals and liquorice, ripe in fruit and fresh in spice, fruity and delicate on the palate, velvety and at the same<br />time firm from the tip of the tongue to the finish.<br />Site and soil: Mazzon, called 'Mason' by us to avoid confusion with the larger site above Neumarkt. Four hectares are planted with Pinot Nero in this unique site: a south-<br />facing plateau at 400 - 450 m above sea level, sunny and constantly exposed to the wind. Ideal conditions for the tightly berried Pinot grapes. The soil is sandy loam and<br />interspersed with various stones: Dolomite, porphyry, gneiss and granite can be found from small grains to fist-sized stones.<br />Vinification: Each batch from the different parcels was vinified separately. The maceration took place in wooden vats, spontaneously with the grape's own yeasts.<br />Maceration lasted two weeks, with the marc cake being macerated once a day. The 12-month wooden barrel ageing took place in barriques, with only 10% new wood and<br />the wine remaining on the fine lees for the entire time. Only then were the individual parcels blended, selecting the best barrels from the highest parcel with the oldest vines<br />for Mason di Mason.<br />Serving temperature: 16 -18 °C.<br />Pairings: roasted and grilled (red) meats, game and matured soft cheeses.<br />
