The Girlan 2017 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Trattmann is a lovely expression with a full load of berry fruit, wild rose, candied orange peel and aniseed. The wine grows in intensity and focus as it opens and warms in the glass, imparting some minty apple as it does. The close is spicy and fresh. This Riserva offers a firm backbone and just enough structure to pair with a meat dish cooked with cream or butter. The fruit represents a blend from the prized Mazzon vineyard (with chalky clay soils) and a site in Cornaiano with gravel soils. One adds to the mouthfeel and the other the bouquet. Some 30,000 bottles were released.
