With the grape written in three languages (Pinot Noir, Pinot Nero and Blauburgunder on the front and back labels), the 2012 Alto Adige Pinot Noir does its very best to underline the truest characteristics of the grape. Bright berry nuances, freshly cut violets, balsam herb and dried ginger give the wine immediate aromatic appeal. The acidity is well-balanced against the polished leanness of the mouthfeel.
