BARTHENAU<br />VIGNA S. URBANO PINOT NOIR<br /><br />A Pinot Noir whose dark ruby-red colour already hints at its enormous concentration.<br />If the nose is still somewhat closed at first, it soon releases its aromas in the glass, which are reminiscent of the multi-faceted bouquet of classic Burgundies.<br />The enveloping scent of sour cherries and raspberries is underlined by delicate vanilla tones and fine spicy notes.<br />On the palate, it is very well balanced and convinces with its elegant acidity, well-integrated tannins and an impressively aromatic concentration.<br /><br />The Barthenau Vigna S. Urbano is an expression of our most valuable Cru site. It is located in the heart of the vineyards around our estate Barthenau near Mazon.<br />This Pinot Noir reflects the enormous potential of this unique site, where vines grow, some of which are more than 55 years old.<br /><br />Only the classification 'Vigna' guarantees the origin of a site wine in South Tyrol.<br />VSU<br />Hofstätter Classification<br /><br />Grape variety<br /><br />Pinot Noir<br />Soil<br /><br />Conglomerate of clay, limestone and porphyry soils.<br />Vinification<br /><br />After delivery, the majority of the grapes are lightly crushed and destemmed, 25% enter the fermentation barrel intact. After a short, cool maceration to refine the fruit<br />bouquet, the wine ferments for about 10 days. During fermentation, the must is kept in constant contact with the solid grape components.<br />Maturation<br /><br />The ageing in wooden barrels takes place in two different phases: in the first phase, the wine is aged for about 12 months in small oak barrels; in the second phase, after the<br />assemblage, it is aged for about another 8 months in large oak barrels. After bottling, the wine is stored for another 8 months in the cellars of Ansitz Barthenau.<br />Food recommendation<br /><br />Red meats, game, mild cheeses.<br />
