Description
A still red from Trentino-Alto Adige, the Tiefenbrunner Linticlarus Pinot Noir Riserva 2021, with an alcohol content of 14% vol. This wine is born from the passion of the Tiefenbrunner family, now in its fifth generation, who have been cultivating vines since 1848. The grapes come from hillside vineyards in Montagna and Corona, with a south/southwest exposure. After manual harvesting, 70% of the grapes are destemmed, while the remainder is vinified whole-bunch. Aged for 12 months in barriques (40% new), six months in large oak barrels, and one year in bottle. The nose reveals subtle aromas of berries and cherries. The color is ruby red with garnet highlights. An elegant, balanced, and rounded wine with a lingering finish.
