The Pinot Nero Riserva from Brunnenhof is produced on the family-run estate located in Mazzone in the municipality of Egna. The Rottensteiner family, current owners of the estate, has produced only wines that reflect their love for the land and pure tradition since the first harvest. The quality of the wines comes from attention both in the vineyard, where eco-sustainability reigns supreme, while in the cellar, respect for the fruit and its flavors reigns supreme, without implementing invasive practices, leaving the wine free to evolve, enhancing the peculiarities of the grapes and gaining unique characteristics. The lands are located in the so-called Alto Adige Grand Cru of Pinot Noir, and this particular type of grape is also the focus of the Rottensteiner.
The Pinot Noir Riserva is an excellence of the territory and the winery, the cultivation of these grapes exceeds a century of history and finds ideal conditions for ripening. The vineyards grow on a sandy soil consisting mainly of clay and lime and with excellent exposure to sunlight. The harvest of these black grapes is done strictly by hand and after a careful selection of the grapes, which are fermented in large wooden vats in contact with the lees for about 2 weeks. Periodic punching down is performed to extract the maximum aroma and color. After complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine is divided into 500-liter oak barrels where it rests for a year, and subsequently for another 8/10 months in large oak barrels. Once bottled, the wine rests for another year before being released for sale, where it stabilizes and consolidates its intense aroma and pulpiness, which concludes with a pleasant tannin.
