Trattmann Pinot Nero Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2023 - Girlan x 6

Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva from Cantina Girlan is one of the most elegant and representative interpretations of Pinot Noir Alto Adige DOC. This wine is made from a selection of the best grapes from historic vineyards located between the renowned areas of Mazon, in the Bassa Atesina, and the hilly area of ​​Cornaiano in the Oltradige region. Thanks to the particular microclimatic conditions and the age of the vines, these areas are considered among the most suitable in Alto Adige for growing Pinot Noir.

The Vineyard

The vineyards are located between 380 and 500 meters above sea level on very different yet complementary soils: on one side, deep clay and limestone soils in the Bassa Atesina area, on the other moraine deposits on porphyritic volcanic rock in the Überetsch area. This combination of soils and microclimates allows for grapes with great aromatic complexity and structure.

Vinification and Aging

The harvest is entirely by hand in small containers to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Approximately 10% of the bunches are vinified whole, while the remainder is transferred by gravity into stainless steel vats where fermentation takes place, lasting 20–24 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months in barriques and small wooden barrels, followed by 8 months in large 70 hl oak barrels. The process concludes with a further refinement in the bottle for approximately 8 months, which helps to harmonize the aromas and structure.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it presents an elegant ruby red color with light garnet hues. On the nose, it expresses an intense and complex bouquet with hints of ripe fruit, cherry, and morello cherry. On the palate, it is delicate and vinous, characterized by excellent structure, great balance, and a long, elegant finish, typical of the best Pinot Noir wines from Alto Adige.

Food Pairings

Thanks to its structure and aromatic finesse, Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva pairs perfectly with roasts, game, and mature or slightly spicy cheeses. Also ideal with rich meat dishes and traditional cuisine.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its aromatic profile and complexity, we recommend serving this wine at a temperature of 16–18°C.
