Description
What kind of wine is it
Tiefenbrunner Turmhof Pinot Nero is a still red wine that embodies the identity of Alto Adige. Produced by Tiefenbrunner from Pinot Noir grapes, it reveals a ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of blackberries, raspberries and cherries. The palate is vigorous and fresh, delivering a smooth and full-bodied sip with an elegant finish. It pairs well with lamb, rabbit, game and mature cheeses, and has an ageing potential of up to ten years.
Where does it come from
The grapes grow in the vineyards of Alto Adige, on mountain plots with varied composition. The vines are trained using the trellis system between Pinzano and Mazzon on clay soils, while in Corona there are calcareous gravel substrates and in Aica di Fiè sandy soils. This diversity, combined with moraine-origin soils, ensures balanced yields and gives the wine a territorial character that enhances the delicacy of the grape variety.
How is it produced
Vinification involves fermentation on the skins in concrete vats to preserve the aromas, followed by malolactic fermentation. Maturation lasts ten months and takes place mainly in small barrels and, to a lesser extent, in large casks. Once blended, the wine rests for two months in concrete before completing the process with bottle ageing to refine its harmony. The result is a red wine with well-defined acidity and a very low sugar content.
