Pinot Noir Riserva Alto Adige DOC Trattmann – Girlan

Alto Adige, on the Austrian border, is sunny enough and cool enough for this great but difficult variety to show it capabilities, particularly from a single vineyard with such a good producer as Girlan. On the nose it has the distinctive earthy almost farmyardy tone of the Pinot Nero grape. To follow there is a firm, dry finish with a lingering palate.
