Castelfeder Pinot Nero Glen 2019 750ml

Castelfeder Pinot Nero Glen is a testament to the extraordinary winegrowing conditions found in the Glen area of Alto Adige, where Pinot Noir thrives. The name "Glen" evokes the special characteristics of this region, with its afternoon sun, distinctive soil composed of clay, lime, and porphyry, and vineyards located at elevations ranging from 450 to 850 meters above sea level. These conditions create the ideal environment for cultivating Pinot Noir that embodies elegance and depth. This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, with a label that features the iconic decommissioned railway bridge in Glen, offering a unique perspective of Bolzano and the South Tyrolean lowlands, where 85% of the region's winegrowing takes place. Castelfeder Pinot Nero Glen is crafted with care, from hand-picking the grapes to a gentle pressing process. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is aged for six months on fine lees. The result is a wine with a bright straw yellow color and a bouquet that bursts with ripe black cherry aromas, complemented by savory herbs, earthy minerals, and delicate violet flowers. On the palate, this Pinot Noir is elegantly cool-toned, displaying a blend of red and black fruits. It offers a harmonious balance of acidity and inner sweetness, creating a wine that is smooth and satisfying. Castelfeder Pinot Nero Glen pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, including game, light red meats, pork, venison, stews, duck, charcuterie, poultry, mushrooms, and grilled vegetables.
