Description
What kind of wine it is
Puntay Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva is a still red wine produced by Erste+Neue. It displays a bright ruby red colour, enhanced by subtle garnet highlights. The aromatic profile reveals an elegant fruity bouquet, with clear notes of cherry and redcurrant, accompanied by a delicate hint of vanilla. On the palate, it shows a dry, clean and pleasantly juicy character. Tasting reveals a firm structure, finely supported by elegant tannins and a lively acidity that harmoniously extends the persistence of the finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Alto Adige region, coming directly from the vines of the renowned Puntay vineyard. The Erste+Neue winery operates according to the strict principles of sustainable viticulture, actively committed to protecting the environment and natural resources. The careful cultivation of Pinot Nero grapes follows the unique local microclimate, ensuring a pure and faithful interpretation of the territory. Manual harvesting and meticulous agronomic selection demonstrate a strong commitment to high tasting precision, capable of enhancing the natural elegance of the grape variety.
How it is produced
The production process begins with the vinification of Pinot Nero grapes through a traditional twelve-day maceration, partly using whole bunches. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, a technique chosen to preserve the aromatic clarity and primary freshness of the fruit. The wine then matures in oak barrels for twelve months, a crucial stage that defines the tannin structure and overall complexity. This dynamic red is ideal for pairing with roast meats and game, and also complements elaborate fish dishes with excellent balance.
History and Curiosities
The Puntay Alto Adige Pinot Nero Riserva DOC represents the pinnacle of quality for Erste+Neue, a historic winery that enhances its roots through rigorous sustainable viticulture certified by FAIR’N GREEN. Born from a careful selection of Pinot Noir grapes hand-picked in the vineyard of the same name, this fine wine reflects the exceptional expertise of oenologist Thomas Scarizuola. Winner of the gold medal at the Prague Wine Trophy, it is perfect to enjoy immediately, but will continue to impress over time thanks to an ageing potential of 5-10 years.
