Description
What kind of wine it is
Alois Lageder Mimuet Pinot Noir is a biodynamic red wine and vegan, which enhances the identity of the Pinot Noir grape in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige. Visually, it appears garnet red with ruby highlights, revealing aromas of black cherry, cranberry and small wild berries, accompanied by spicy notes, mineral touches and well-integrated oak. On the palate, it offers a medium body, vigorous and dry, able to balance the natural fruity sweetness with a delicate tannic structure. The tasting concludes with a fresh and persistent finish. It pairs perfectly with duck, veal, vegetable-based dishes and bloomy rind cheeses.
Where it comes from
It originates among the Vineyards of the Dolomites, from plots located in Magrè and other suitable areas near Lake Caldaro. The vines grow between 370 and 610 metres above sea level, where a cool microclimate ensures slow ripening and vibrant flavour tension. The root system delves into gravelly and calcareous soils of morainic origin, rich in pebbles and with clay present in the upper layers. This particular geological formation, combined with an agricultural ecosystem characterised by rich biodiversity, gives the wine a clear territorial definition.
How it is produced
The vineyard management follows the principles of biodynamic viticulture certified by Demeter. After harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing. The spontaneous fermentation takes place thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts for about fifteen days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The twelve-month maturation involves dividing the wine between stainless steel containers, concrete vats and wooden barrels, a choice aimed at enriching the aromatic profile while preserving the elegance of Pinot Noir. It is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 14–16 °C, decanting it about an hour before consumption.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the historic Alois Lageder estate, active since 1823, the Mimuet Pinot Noir represents the genuine union between man and nature. Its name in Ladin means “according to my tastes”, perfectly embodying the spirit of the Le Composizioni range. This elegant red is born from strict biodynamic agriculture certified by Demeter. Through initiatives such as the Grandorto and Buoi projects, which use natural pastures to enhance the fertility of the vineyards, the company stands as a vital organic microcosm that enhances the South Tyrolean ecosystem.
