{"product_id":"girlan-pinot-nero-patricia-2024","title":"Girlan Pinot Nero Patricia 2024","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of wine it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia by Girlan is a still red wine that authentically expresses the identity of Alto Adige. This \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e displays a clear ruby red colour, revealing aromas of cherry, blackberry and dried flowers, enriched by delicate notes of undergrowth, spices and subtle hints of vanilla. On the palate, it is dry and medium-bodied, standing out for its \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp fruity freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e skilfully balanced by ripe tannins and a fine minerality. The long and persistent finish makes it perfect for accompanying the flavours of Mediterranean cuisine, particularly enhancing mushroom risottos, \u003cstrong\u003eroast meats and game\u003c\/strong\u003e or selections of mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in vineyards located in the renowned subzones of Cornaiano, Mazzon and Pinzon, on gentle south-facing slopes between 450 and 600 metres above sea level. The soils are a mix of limestone, clay and sand, interwoven with rich \u003cstrong\u003emoraine deposits on volcanic rock\u003c\/strong\u003e. This geological complexity, combined with the unique Alpine microclimate, defines the character of the wine. The natural barrier of the Alps to the north and the \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean influences\u003c\/strong\u003e from the south ensure \u003cstrong\u003esignificant night-time temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential conditions for optimal ripening, developing intense aromas and preserving excellent freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process involves meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the bunches collected in small containers to preserve their integrity. In the winery, after destemming, the must descends by gravity into stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation takes place for about two weeks. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of various sizes for fifteen months, a key stage for integrating the structure and elegantly smoothing the tannic texture. A final \u003cstrong\u003erest in bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e for six months completes the evolution, delivering a harmonious sip with clear ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1923, the historic \u003cstrong\u003eCantina Girlan\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the authentic winemaking essence of South Tyrol. The prestigious \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Nero Patricia\u003c\/strong\u003e is born from a meticulous manual harvest in the most renowned areas of Girlan, Mazzon and Pinzon. Under the expert guidance of oenologist Gerhard Kofler, the must is transferred by gravity into steel tanks, then undergoes \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifteen months and a final six-month rest in the bottle. The result is an elegant, structured and intensely fruity red wine, the ideal expression of this Alpine terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Girlan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47439848833195,"sku":"62277","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/girlan-pinot-nero-patricia-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
