DONÀ NOIR

Alto Adige Pinot Nero DOC 

vigorous • concentrated • harmonious

Grape variety: Pinot Noir

In 1986, we planted our first Pinot Noir vines in the Rungg area of Girlan at an altitude of 500 meters. On this sunny, airy east-facing slope with glacial moraine soil, our vines thrive particularly well. Our approach is based on a holistic vine culture, where soil, plant, animal, human, and cosmos exist in harmony. Healthy, vibrant soils promote resilient vines that produce grapes with great expression and individuality – shaped by their environment and our careful nurturing.

In the cellar, we handle the grapes gently to preserve the unique quality of our Pinot Noir. The must ferments slowly and exclusively with natural yeasts over several weeks in oak containers. Around two years of maturation in wooden barrels, followed by an equally long bottle aging, give our Pinot Noir the time to develop its distinc-tive character.

On the palate, it strikes a balance between richness and finesse. The fruity notes are laced with a subtle spiciness, leading with dark berries like blackberry, wild blueberry, and hints of juniper. Full-bodied and structured, its firm tannins provide depth and elegance. This is the essence of our Dona Noir.
