Hirsch Pinot Noir Riserva Alto Adige DOC

Hirsch Pinot Nero Riserva 2018 is produced in the Steinhaus estate located almost 600 meters above sea level, in a position overlooking the Adige valley. The property consists of 7 hectares of vineyards. The climatic conditions of Bucholz di Salorno are characterized by strong temperature fluctuations with hot days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cold nights with very fresh winds coming from the mountains.

Winemaking
The grapes are harvested manually in small boxes of 20 kg. The grapes are then destemmed, trying to respect the integrity of the berry and the stalk as much as possible. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where the must comes into contact with the skins and is gently stirred to extract the aromatic and coloring substances they contain. At the end of the maceration, part of the wine remains in steel containers and the other part is placed in French oak barrels for ageing. After about a year, the wines are blended, and an additional 4 months of aging prepare them for bottling. The wines are put on the market after a minimum of 4 months of refining in the bottle.

Dress
Transparent and shiny ruby ​​red.

Nose
Notes of cherries and berries. Raspberries, currants and blackberries and at the end tobacco and spices.

Stuffy
On the palate, this hirsch presents a clear reminder of the flavors perceived on the nose; the tannin is silky, soft and enveloping.
