Description
Mazon, a high plateau on the cooler eastern side of the southern Adige Valley, is Italy’s most prestigious site for Pinot Noir. It is home to our Barthenau Estate, built 150 years ago by Ludwig Barth von Barthenau and in our family’s care for many decades. The Vigna S. Urbano vineyard, with its clay-limestone soil, produces a Pinot Noir of exceptional elegance and depth. In 1987, this wine becomes Alto Adige’s first officially designated single-vineyard wine (Vigna).
