Were it not for the writing in two languages, Italian and German, this Pinot Noir could easily be mistaken for one of the (many) good Burgundy reds. Same elegance. Same finesse. Same character. But (luckily) this time the bottle in front of us does not come from France but from the heart of Alto Adige. And to be precise, from the cellars of the Abbazia di Novacella. Fermented in stainless steel with maceration on the skins for 15 days, after racking and malolactic conversion, this wine matures in French barriques and tonneaux for 24 months. The result is a glass that is tinged with a beautiful ruby red colour with rosy hues. On the nose what is immediately perceived is the typical red fruit. Black cherry and blackcurrant above all. Then undergrowth, cinnamon and cloves. As already mentioned, this is an extremely elegant and seductive wine, well supported by the right acidity that does not undermine its natural velvety soul. A wine that, its producers are certain, is in no hurry to finish in the glass. Properly stored, in the dark and in a cool, damp cellar, it can easily wait up to 20 years, maturing and evolving into a small, living work of art. On the table it enhances both meat and fish dishes. Excellent with lamb and salmon.
