Description
What kind of wine is it
Cantina Andriano Pinot Noir is a still red wine that embodies the essence of Alto Adige. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it stands out for its bright ruby red colour and an aromatic profile characterised by hints of blackberry and blackcurrant, enhanced by fresh alpine notes. On the palate, it offers a harmonious medium-full body, supported by a soft and vibrant acidity. Its balanced structure and dry finish make it ideal for pairing with flavourful meat dishes, particularly pork, and cheeses.
Where does it come from
This Pinot Noir originates from the slopes of Alto Adige, from vineyards situated at around five hundred metres above sea level, an altitude that favours the perfect aromatic ripening of the grapes. The vines take root in reddish, clayey soils of calcareous origin, rich in layers of white dolomite. This particular soil composition gives the wine a defined flavour profile, enhancing the freshness and finesse that distinguish the grape variety in this specific mountain terroir.
How is it produced
Vinification takes place in stainless steel containers at controlled temperatures, with targeted pumping over. After an initial delicate phase aimed at preserving the primary aromas, there follows a maceration on the skins for several weeks to extract colour and structure. The ageing process continues in large barrels, where the wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation. This process softens the acidic edges, resulting in a fruity and elegant sip that finishes with a pleasant crisp note.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1893, the historic Cantina Andriano entrusts the expertise of Rudi Kofler with the creation of this refined Pinot Nero DOC. The exceptional terroir, located at an altitude of 500 metres on calcareous and clay soils rich in white dolomite, bestows absolute elegance upon the wine. Awarded 91 points by Vinous, this prestigious red expresses the winemaking excellence of the evocative South Tyrolean region in every glass.

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
