Nose
Multifaceted bouquet of a classic Burgundy. Winsome fragrance of Amarelle cherry and raspberry, subtle vanilla notes, and fine spice nuances. Tremendous ageing potential.
Growing Conditions
Mazon, a high plateau on the cooler eastern side ofthe southern AdigeValley, is Italy’s most prestigious site for Pinot Noir. Itis home to our Barthenau Estate, built 150 years ago by Ludwig Barth von Barthenau and in ourfamily’s care for many decades. The Vigna S. Urbano vineyard, on mineral-rich topsoil overlying rock formations of the 'Werfen Formation', produces a Pinot Noir of exceptional elegance and depth. In 1987, this wine becomes Alto Adige’s first officially designated single vineyard wine (Vigna).
Mineral-rich topsoil overlying rock formations of the 'Werfen Formation' (heterogeneous sedimentary rocks).
