<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />2020<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

Porphyr<br />Riserva<br /><br />'Three selected single vineyard sites with vines that are almost a century old and thus provide very concentrated and extract-rich grape material form the basis for our<br />Lagrein selection. The vinification takes place entirely in barriques, which gives the Lagrein Porphyry, which owes its name to the bedrock of the vineyards, a multi-faceted<br />and intense nose, but at the same time makes it compact and distinctive on the palate.'<br />Rudi Kofler<br /><br />Wine<br />Region of Origin: South Tyrol - Italy<br />DOC Area: South Tyrol<br />Variety: 100% porphyry<br />Yield: 42 hl/ha<br />Orientation: South - Southwest<br />Slope: 0 - 5<br />Altitude: 250 - 270 m<br /><br />Vinification<br />Harvest and grape selection by hand; destemming of the grapes followed by slow maceration at controlled temperature and gentle maceration in stainless steel tanks;<br />malolactic fermentation and ageing for 18 months in barriques.

Even though we have experienced a challenging growing season with alternating warm and cool periods with some rain,<br />we have had a fantastic harvest season with the best possible weather conditions for ripening. After a midsummery June and July, followed by high rainfall at the beginning of<br />August, the grapes were able to benefit and ripen for a long time from the optimal conditions with plenty of sunshine. Harvest began late in early September with ideal<br />weather conditions which were only replaced by more unstable weather towards the end. Warm daytime temperatures and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach optimum<br />ripeness with balanced acidity levels and clear fruit, and good structure.<br /><br />FOOD PAIRING<br />Full-flavoured, savoury dishes such as venison, game, red meat or mature cheeses.<br /><br />Appellation: Alto Adige DOC<br />Alcohol: 13,50 % Vol.<br />
