Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Reserve

Classification

Alto Adige DOC 2015 +2016

Production area

Since 2008 we have been looking for a "Cru" particularly suited to the production of this noble variety of French origin. After years of research and various microvinification tests, we chose the “Ganger” Vineyard. A monopole vineyard, located right in Mazzon at an altitude of 360 – 380 meters above sea level, with clear south-west exposure and slopes of 3%–5%, characterized by a unique microclimate and deep soils with clay on the surface and calcareous substrate.

Winemaking

The selected and well-ripe grapes are harvested manually in mid-September and placed in small containers for transport to the cellar. The grapes - of which a fifth is vinified as a whole bunch - are passed by gravity into stainless steel vats for fermentation (25 days). Once malolactic fermentation has taken place, the wine is refined for 20 months in barrique and then further refined in the bottle for 18 months.
