2018 Pinot Nero Riserva

Tasting notes:

Only produced in the best years and vinified from grapes from the oldest vineyards of the estate. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels (20% new) and a further 8 months in bottle. Fragrant nose of blackberries, dark cherries, and spicy notes. Elegant on the palate with well-integrated tannins, concentrated fruits and a refreshing acidity on the finish

Producer description:

This small estate is famous for its South Tyrolean Pinot Noir. In 1986 the Gottardi family, originally from Innsbruck but with roots in Trentino, bought a piece of land in the Mazzon hill. They are dedicated to produce one of the best expressions of Pinot Noir grown in the 'Mazzon Cru'. Their wines have become a benchmark in the region and were quoted as 'Italy's Top Pinot Nero' in Decanter. They give red Burgundies a run for their money.
