Vintage: 2020<br /><br />Classification: South Tyrol DOC Cultivation area<br /><br />'Gschleier' is certainly one of the most renowned wine-growing areas in South Tyrol. Our vines are in fact between 80 and 110 years old, a uniqueness in South Tyrolean<br />viticulture. They grow at 450 metres above sea level on soils of calcareous, loamy and gravelly nature. Thanks to the location and the exposure of the slope, optimal sun<br />exposure is guaranteed, which, together with the characteristics of the soil, produce a full-bodied wine with a longer storage life.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing: The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. After destemming, the must is gravity-fed into steel vats where fermentation<br />takes place (15-20 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured for 9 months in large wooden barrels. The wine is aged in bottle for a further 6 months.<br /><br />Wine portrait: unique Vernatsch! Elegant, full-bodied with fruity tannins, accompanied by excellent flavour.

The vines are between 60 and 90 years old. Old vines naturally produce low and therefore very<br />high quality yields. Traditionally, the SONNTALER is a blend of different Vernatsch varieties with a high percentage of Grauvernatsch. The ideal terroir and the traditional<br />ageing in large Slavonian wooden barrels give a wine with a complex aroma of raspberries, wild strawberries, cherries and red currants. The elegant, slender body is gripping<br />on the palate. Fine-grained tannins give the smooth, varietal fruitiness a long and hearty finish. SONNTALER: the classic.<br /><br />Vernatsch is considered the lightest red wine variety in the world, which is why the drinking temperature is particularly important: we recommend 13°C!<br />

Description follows

RISERVA MAZON PINOT NOIR<br /><br />Its colour is a deep ruby-garnet red, the bouquet reveals the typical notes of undergrowth, berries and sour cherries - ripe, sweet and seductive.

A great wine of international standard with an expressive body, which can develop its great potential even better after another 2<br />years of bottle ageing.<br /><br />Pinot Noir was first successfully cultivated in South Tyrol at the beginning of the 19th century.

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.
