Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' 2018<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The long history of Pinot Noir in South Tyrol has accompanied the development of the wine region. Elena Walch's Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' was created with the 2001 vintage,<br />from grapes of old vines in cooler sites, some of which are even still planted as Pergel. The small production of 10,000 bottles indicates the strict selection of plots to<br />produce a classic, complex Burgundy of the highest quality. The many national and international awards for the Pinot Noir 'Ludwig', including the top award of the 12th and<br />19th Italian Pinot Noir Competition in 2013 and in 2020, confirm the winemaker's great commitment to the noble grape variety.<br /><br />'The Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' presents itself with a fresh, strong ruby red as well as with elegant concentration and complexity. concentration and complexity. Fresh fruity notes<br />with heart cherries and red currants as well as spicy spicy aromas with a little pepper and elegant toasted aromas define the bouquet. On the palate, the wine and elegance<br />with firm tannins, a fruity and delicate structure and a harmonious interplay between<br />and a harmonious interplay between discreet spiciness and youthful, juicy freshness - with great potential and inviting length.<br /><br />COURSE OF THE 2018 VINTAGE<br />The 2018 wine year presents itself as an outstanding vintage with excellent<br />quality. After a long winter, the vegetation phase - with budding in mid<br />April - somewhat later than in previous years. A rainy but warm phase but warm phase until the beginning of flowering at the end of May made up for this delay.<br />The harvest finally began in fine weather at the end of August - a few cooler weeks in mid to late August had<br />A few cooler weeks in mid to late August had delayed the start of harvesting by a few days after the very hot and dry weeks in July. This was followed by a golden autumn<br />with sunny and warm days and thus the ideal phenolic ripeness could be waited for each individual variety. Even cool nights were crucial for maintaining acidity and<br />freshness, especially for the white wines. A great vintage in South Tyrol!<br />VINIFICATION:<br />Fermentation on the skins for 10 days in steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. Subsequent acid degradation in wooden barrels. Maturation in barrique barrels made of<br />French oak barrels for a period of 13 months. A state-of-the-art fermentation cellar cellar since 2015 allows a very gentle<br />processing of the grapes with whole berry processing and also the<br />processing of whole grapes using gravity. The sensitive destemmer and the gentle transport of the grapes by means of a 'cuvon', a container on rails, prove to be extremely<br />gentle on the grapes and preserve their high quality. The state-of-the-art building is certainly unique in South Tyrol in this conception and is probably one of the most modern<br />fermenting cellars in Italy, for the production of great red wines d'excellence.<br />Alcohol: 13.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.1 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 1,2 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir<br />
