Description
The Pinot Nero Vigna Sant Urbano from the Hofstatter winery is a high-quality red wine from the Alto Adige region in northern Italy. The area where the vineyards are located is characterized by a cool climate and the steep slopes of the Alps, which give the wine a unique complexity and freshness. The Pinot Nero Vigna Sant Urbano vines are cultivated at an altitude between 350 and 470 meters above sea level, on soils of calcareous and clay origin. These conditions favor the slow and complete ripening of the grapes, which develop intense aromas and an elegant structure. The Pinot Nero grapes are hand-harvested to ensure the utmost care in selection and are then subjected to careful vinification that respects the characteristics of the grape variety. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for at least 18 months, followed by a further period of aging in the bottle before being marketed. The result is a Pinot Nero Vigna Sant Urbano wine that stands out for its aromatic complexity, with notes of red fruits, spices, and undergrowth, and for its elegant and velvety structure. It is a wine that pairs well with refined dishes based on meat, game, or aged cheeses, enhancing their flavors and nuances. Pairings: The Pinot Nero Vigna Sant Urbano Hofstatter is a red wine of great structure and complexity, from Alto Adige.
