Description
What style of wine it is
The Anrar Pinot Nero Riserva from Andriano expresses the most authentic essence of Alto Adige through a glass of intense ruby-red colour. On the nose, this elegant wine reveals a complex fruity structure that blends aromas of cherry and forest fruits with hints of sweet spices, tea leaves and delicate smoky nuances. On the palate, it is distinguished by its compact body, driven by a vibrant acidity perfectly balanced by soft, fine-grained tannins. Thanks to its harmony and persistence, it accompanies game and mature cheeses with great class, as well as succulent red meats and lamb dishes.
Where it comes from
The Pinot Nero grapes are grown in the evocative vineyards of Andriano, situated at around four hundred and seventy metres above sea level, where the mountain climate favours remarkable aromatic precision and a pleasant, constant freshness. The roots of the vines delve into reddish soils, rich in clay on a limestone base, embellished with clear layers of white dolomite stone. This peculiar geological composition supports a clean organoleptic expression and gives the wine its silky tannic texture. The low yields per hectare ensure extraordinary concentration, clearly enhancing the characteristics of the variety grown at high altitudes.
How it is produced
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, where delicate pumping over allows the best extraction of colour intensity and primary aromatic components. Malolactic fermentation follows, a fundamental process for softening the acidity and enriching the wine's texture. The careful process continues with maturation in barrels, an essential phase that smooths the grain of the tannins and brings deep elegance to the persistent finish. Awarded ninety-four points by James Suckling, this wine is distinguished by its excellent ageing potential, ensuring an optimal and harmonious evolution over the years.
History and interesting facts
The excellence of the Pinot Noir Anrar Riserva originates in Andriano following the "Tradition in motion" philosophy, which skilfully combines history and innovation. The grapes ripen on unique clay and limestone soils rich in white dolomite stone, which give the wine an unmistakable character. After careful vinification in steel, delicate ageing in barriques refines its fruity structure and yields silky tannins. Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, this prestigious Alto Adige DOC perfectly expresses the elegance of mountain viticulture.

Today the strengths of the two wine estates are combined and yet clearly distinct from each other. With its outstanding sites, Cantina Andriano stands for constancy, underpinned by the historic achievement of the Andriano winegrowers for wines like Lagrein, which was one of the first to be aged in barriques here.
On the basis of a consistent commitment to quality and a strong focus on terroir, which had already been a successful recipe in Terlano, Cantina Andriano continues to develop step by step. The winery now looks to the future from a position of strength and can be proud of its identity and standard of quality. They have their roots in unique limestone-rich soils, a climate that is quite different from that of Terlano, and grape varieties ideally suited to these parameters.
That forms the foundation for the distinctive Andriano taste and identity. Read more
