J. Hofstatter Michei di Michei Pinot Nero 2022

J. Hofstätter Michei di Michei Pinot Nero 2022 is a refined Alpine Pinot Noir that captures the elegance and precision of Trentino-Alto Adige. Grown at remarkable altitude in the Dolomites, it combines freshness, depth, and a distinctly mineral-backed character, making it one of the estate’s most expressive wines. The cuvée reflects more than a century of family winemaking tradition, while showing a modern, finely tuned style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-garnet colour. The nose is layered and elegant, with ripe wild cherries, forest berries, strawberries, and redcurrants, lifted by notes of elderberry, undergrowth, and a subtle spicy edge. The palate is medium-bodied yet impressively dense, with a firm structure balanced by vivid freshness and a fine creamy texture. The acidity is bright and well integrated, carrying the wine into a long, poised finish. It has excellent ageing potential and should continue to develop beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years.

Production
The grapes come from high-altitude vineyards between 790 and 850 metres above sea level in Trentino-Alto Adige, where morainic soils, porphyry, and gravelly clay contribute precision, tension, and complexity. The cool mountain terroir helps preserve aromatic purity and natural freshness, giving the wine its distinct Alpine identity. In the cellar, part of the fruit is destemmed while a selected portion undergoes whole-cluster fermentation. The must macerates on the skins for around ten days to extract colour, structure, and flavour, before the wine matures in oak barrels. After blending, it continues ageing in oak and is then allowed a final period of rest before release.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir is a natural match for game, venison, roast poultry, and mature cheeses, where its freshness and structure can shine alongside rich flavours. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for about an hour before pouring to let the aromas and texture fully open up.
