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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\n\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"xtraWine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255254634833,"sku":"XW-58392","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/vigne-alto-adige-pinot-nero-2024_58392_1_d0050d13-4372-46af-abf6-6c0223edcc45.webp?v=1783457889","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/geranienfeld-alto-adige-pinot-nero-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
