On the nose, it offers clear \u003cstrong\u003earomas of raspberry and cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, introducing an elegant and structured sip. On the palate, it expresses a distinct varietal character, balanced by savoury nuances and a persistent, remarkably intense finish. This wine naturally accompanies rich dishes: after an hour of decanting, its \u003cstrong\u003emineral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance succulent roasts, \u003cstrong\u003egrilled red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates in the Bassa Atesina, from vineyards located near the municipality of Montagna and in some plots on the Renon. The rows are found in mountainous areas between 450 and 600 metres above sea level, an ideal altitude for the aromatic development of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003egravelly clay and porphyry soils\u003c\/strong\u003e give the wine a characteristic gustatory tension. Ritterhof follows a philosophy based on respect for nature, tending these \u003cstrong\u003emountain vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e with dedication to achieve in the glass the purest \u003cstrong\u003eexpression of the South Tyrol terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pinot Nero grapes, from vines trained using the Guyot system, are harvested exclusively by hand to ensure controlled yields and optimal ripeness. In the winery, a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional fermentation with maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in open containers, a method that encourages a delicate extraction of aromas. Afterwards, the wine matures through \u003cstrong\u003eageing in large wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and small barriques. This period of rest enriches the structure and imparts greater \u003cstrong\u003edepth of flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e, while preserving the vibrancy of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1967 in Caldaro, along the Wine Road, the \u003cstrong\u003eRitterhof\u003c\/strong\u003e winery combines natural winemaking with sustainability. Under the guidance of oenologist Hannes Bernard, this \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced from mountain vineyards situated between 450 and 600 metres above sea level, where clay and porphyry soils give the wine its distinctive minerality. The deep respect for the environment imparts a structured elegance to the \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has recently been awarded by a renowned Italian guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ritterhof","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063985557675,"sku":"59815","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ritterhof-blauburgunder-pinot-nero-2024_59815_1_83a2804d-5f2e-4286-9e45-32e5d759086b.webp?v=1773803262","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-dk\/products\/ritterhof-blauburgunder-pinot-nero-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
