Geranienfeld Alto Adige Pinot Nero 2024

Vigne Alto Adige Pinot Nero 2024 captures the elegance and freshness that make mountain-grown Pinot so compelling. Crafted in the cool, Alpine-influenced vineyards of northern Italy, this red offers vibrant fruit, fine structure, and a distinctly refined profile. It’s a modern expression of Alto Adige’s growing reputation as one of Italy’s most exciting regions for Pinot Nero.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Nero shows a bright, translucent ruby hue with garnet flashes at the rim. The nose is delicately perfumed, offering notes of wild strawberries, red cherries, and raspberry, layered with rose petals, a hint of violet, and subtle undertones of spice and dried herbs. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively acidity and finely woven tannins. Juicy red berry fruit is supported by nuances of cranberry, pomegranate, and a gentle earthy-mineral backbone that speaks to its Alpine origins. The finish is clean, precise, and refreshing, with a fine, savory twist. Enjoy it in its youth for maximum freshness and purity of fruit, though it has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 3–5 years.

Production
Sourced from hillside vineyards in Alto Adige, this wine benefits from high-altitude sites, cool nights, and excellent diurnal range, which preserve acidity and aromatics. The soils, typically a mix of limestone, porphyry, and morainic deposits, lend both finesse and a distinct mineral character. Grapes are harvested by hand to ensure optimal selection of bunches and gentle handling in the cellar. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vessels to capture pure, vibrant fruit, followed by maturation in a combination of stainless steel and neutral or lightly used oak to add texture without overwhelming the delicacy of Pinot Nero.

Food & Serving
This Alto Adige Pinot Nero is an outstanding partner for roasted poultry, herb-crusted pork, grilled salmon, cured meats, and mushroom-based dishes such as risotto or creamy polenta with wild mushrooms. It also pairs well with semi-hard Alpine cheeses. Serve at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight its aromatics and freshness. A brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help open up the bouquet, especially in the first couple of years after bottling.
