Pfitscher Fuxleiten Pinot Nero Südtirol Alto Adige DOC

A Pinot Nero from Pfitscher in Alto Adige, made from grapes grown in the Fuxleiten vineyard. Its exposure and altitude allow slow, even ripening, and the fruit is picked by hand. The wine is aged in French oak barriques, which add balance and a subtle complexity without covering the freshness of the fruit. The colour is a delicate ruby. The nose offers cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, with floral notes, sweet spice and a little undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied, with fresh acidity and soft tannins, red fruit and earthy, spicy notes leading to a long finish.
